Error: Cannot find module 'recast'

See original GitHub issue

npm -v 5.6-5.8 node -v 8.9.4

you have recast in devDependencies, but you are using this module in general file. In some case I don’t get module on top of node_modules tree. and it doesn’t exist in node_modules of babel-plugin-react-docgen. it only exist in react-docgen node_modules. Please, add recast in dependencies.

It sometimes works depending on the hoisting of the package manager and what other packages are installed, but relying on this hoisting is a bad practice and can lead to unexpected results.

This also breaks use of yarn Plug’n’Play, or if you use yarn’s nohoist feature to prevent recast from a different transitive dependency from being moved to node_modules/recast

deleting all node_modules and storybook and reinstalling them and npx init’ing storybook worked for me to fix it…so maybe it’s not on yall and just a result of the npm ecosystem getting absurdly complex lately?

I don’t know…
