CodePudding user response：

According to the maintainer of Storybook, there was a recent release of enhanced-resolve (a dependency of Storybook) which ended up breaking Storybook installations that use Webpack. You might be experiencing this issue if you 1) recently installed a fresh Storybook, 2) do not use package lock files, or 3) deleted your package lock files and ran install.

Workaround

Pending a permanent fix, a temporary workaround involves pinning enchanced-resolve to the latest working version 5.10.0.

Add the following line to your package.json. Delete node_modules and re-install.

npm

// package.json
{
  "overrides": {
    "enhanced-resolve": "5.10.0"
  }
}

Yarn

// package.json
{
  "resolutions": {
    "enhanced-resolve": "5.10.0"
  }
}

pnpm

// package.json
{
  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "enhanced-resolve": "5.10.0"
    }
  }
}

`warning Resolution field "[email protected]" is incompatible with requested version "[email protected]"`

As mentioned here, a global override may be problematic for projects with dependencies that depend on a different version of enhanced-resolve. If you are experiencing the above warning, try making the override more specific (assuming your Storybook installation uses webpack5):

"webpack@5/enhanced-resolve": "5.10.0"

if you get "property not allowed in package.json", you can use npm i [email protected] and then try "npm run storybook". It will work.
