Can't get Storybook working (Windows issue?)

On a fresh install of RW 0.15.3, when I try to run storybook I get the following output

tobbe@XPS9550 MINGW64 ~/dev/redwood/v153
$ yarn rw storybook
yarn run v1.22.4

Looking in my node_modules folder I can’t find the generated-entry.js file at all There’s something funky going on with edwood♂153websrc, kind of like it originally was \redwood\v153\web\src or something (which looks like a semi-valid Windows path) and then it interpreted the Windows path-separator as an escape character. So \r became carriage return, \v became male sex sign 🤷‍♀️ and \w and \s were not recognized as escape codes, so the backslash was just dropped…

What I did find out however, is that if I run StoryBook without specifying a config dir it starts!

I’ve narrowed it down further.

In main.js in the storybook config dir there is a stories export that looks like this

const stories = [`${getPaths().web.src}/**/*.stories.{tsx,jsx,js}`]

On one of my projects that ends up evaluating to this

stories = ['C:\\Users\\tobbe\\dev\\redwood\\rw193\\web\\src/**/*.stories.{tsx,jsx,js}']

If I change that export to just look like this, storybook will start

  stories: [],

But if I change it to this, stuff breaks

  stories: ['C:\\Users\\tobbe\\dev\\redwood\\rw193\\web\\src\\pages\\HomePage\\HomePage.stories.js'],

@dthyresson pointed to this line in the code as potentially problematic on Windows: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/main/packages/cli/src/commands/storybook.js#L15

I’ll dig in to it tomorrow. See what that path resolves to on Windows.
