Storybook preview hooks can only be called inside decorators and story functions.

See original GitHub issue

In NextJS 11.0.1 the initial Storybook does not render and throws an error:

Storybook preview hooks can only be called inside decorators and story functions.
Error: Storybook preview hooks can only be called inside decorators and story functions.

    at mountIndeterminateComponent (react-dom.development.js:17811)
    at beginWork (react-dom.development.js:19049)

I use preview.tsx and my app initially does not render with the above error. But client side navigation works and renders accordingly.

I’m fully updated with NextJS, Storybook, and storybook-addon-next-router and experiencing the same issue. My project’s pretty complex so I’ll try to make a simpler project that reproduces the issue.

@Myzel394 the issue of the reproduction @dfalling had was due to having @react-theming/storybook-addon which is using the wrong hooks that storybook provides for addon creators. You might also be using an addon which also does this.
