Unknown option: direct.presets about storybook

[hellogerard]

If anyone Googles into here, I was getting a similar, but slightly different, error:

ERROR in ./storybook/addons.js
Module build failed: ReferenceError: [BABEL] /Users/gerard/_work/crossroads-anywhere/react-native/storybook/addons.js: Unknown option: direct.presets
    at Logger.error (/Users/gerard/_work/crossroads-anywhere/react-native/node_modules/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/logger.js:58:11)

npm ls babel-core gave me:

├─┬ @storybook/cli@3.2.4
│ └─┬ jscodeshift@0.3.32
│   └── babel-core@5.8.38 

It sounded like Babel 5 was the problem, so I had to explicitly install Babel 6: npm i --save-dev [email protected]. Not sure if that's a good idea or not, but it fixes the error and everything in my project still appears to be working.

I upgraded to Babel 6 and it works well. The bug is in Babel, and I couldn't figure out what was going wrong.

It may be worth considering making babel v6 a peer dependency and call it good.

Node 4.2.0 / NPM 3.8.1

Yes I think that's the issue. It's try to load babel5 inside this where we don't support.
I didn't find this. I assume, you need to upgrade to babel6 for now.

I'll see what I can do about this.

[arunoda]

Cool. I think that's something we can do.

[arunoda]

I think we can close this now. Since everybody is using babel6.
