mock service worker integration in storybook-build

First of all, thanks for creating this addon, It’s being really useful overall. However, I have a specific use case where when building storybook with the default build-storybook command, which generates the storybook-static folder, I want to be able to get data from the mock service provider. Right now, when the build finishes, the mock service provider doesn’t work (can’t fetch any data).

How could I make it work within the build?

I want this behaviour because I can just send to my clients a link to check how the frontend is looking right now, which is the storybook build, and having no mocks in it will provide them nothing useful.

A colleague pointed out an unfortunate mistake to me, in that you can see above the build-storybook command doesn’t make use of -s .storybook/public. Adding this made it work, which makes pretty obvious sense as to why the worker file wasn’t in the build 🤦🏻 looks like I was only checking for the -s flag in the serve command.

In any case, thanks for your responses, and for the work on this addon!

Great to know you figured that out @tomcarter17! I’d recommend using the new notation of staticDirs which would have avoided such issue in the first place, as it’s shared between dev and build in Storybook!
