GitHub action failing with "Storybook package not installed"

With the release of Chromatic CLI v6.0.0 all our GitHub actions using the chromaui/action@v1 are now failing with the following error:

If you need help, please chat with us at https://www.chromatic.com/docs/cli for the fastest response.
You can also email the team at [e-mail] if chat is not an option.

Please provide us with the above CLI output and the following info:

    "allowConsoleErrors": false
  },
  "buildScript": "build-storybook -s public",
  "errorType": "Error",
  "errorMessage": "✖ Failed to collect Storybook metadata"
}

This is happening across all our builds now with no code changes to the action/package.json/or lock file in our code so appears to be completely isolated to the action itself.

Hey all Dominic from Chromatic here:

We reverted the latest package 6.0.0 back to 5.10.2. That should unblock you while we debug further.

• If you use GitHub actions, this should transparently resolve any issues. Try running the action again.
• If you use the CLI via npx this should also resolve any issues.
• If you’ve set your package version to 6.0.0 you’ll have to reset it to 5.10.2

Let me know if that works for y’all here or via our in-app chat (faster response).

I’m investigating this, does anyone have a public repository where this occurs?

https://github.com/tobilen/chromatic-repro

checkout run yarn run npx chromatic -t xxx

tell me if you need the project token, i’ll send it via chromatics intercom
