"@storybook/preview-web"' has no exported member 'WebProjectAnnotations'.

[hamzalatif-e2x]

The latest version (6.5.9) of @storybook/preview-web does not have the WebProjectAnnotations type exported. @storybook/preview-web is a peer dependency of @storybook/testing-react which is using version >= 6.4.0 which results in version 6.5.9 being used with the missing export.

Version 6.4.22 of @storybook/preview-web had the export in https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/v6.4.22/lib/preview-web/src/types.ts

../../node_modules/@storybook/testing-react/dist/types.d.ts:2:15 - error TS2305: Module '"@storybook/preview-web"' has no exported member 'WebProjectAnnotations'.

import type { WebProjectAnnotations } from '@storybook/preview-web';
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Found 1 error in ../../node_modules/@storybook/testing-react/dist/types.d.ts:2

Is there a reason for this omission or is this a bug?

Hi! 👋

I used patch-package to patch @storybook/[email protected] for the project I'm working on.
I'm not sure if exporting WebProjectAnnotations from index.ts is the right solution but here is the diff that solved my problem:

Is there any reliable solution now?

An issue has been opened, but testing-react is still pinned to 6.4.x, so until they update its dependencies and release, I don't see how we can fix it.

For now, this solution seems to be working for me:
