Like #205, tried adding this to an existing project using the guide

$ npm run storybook

...
> start-storybook -p 9001

=> Loading custom webpack config.

ERROR in multi preview
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'webpack-hot-middleware/client' in /Users/e.scha/Projects/project
 @ multi preview

Really lost about how to resolve this, since I'm using npm version 3+ and no other similar bug reports have had an issue on this version.

$ npm -v && node -v
3.8.5
v5.6.0

Tried this already too:

$ rm -rf node_modules/
$ npm i webpack-hot-middleware --save-dev

[arunoda]

That's weird. I couldn't re-produce this.
Could you send me a sample repo, where I can work with.

[tcoopman]

I can confirm the same issue on 2 pc's (1 mac, 1 windows). All runing npm 3.x. But the same repository works on another windows pc. So we're also lost at the moment.

We tried: rm -rf node_modules && npm cache clean and compared shrinkwrapped outputs, but we can't get it to work.

I cannot provide a sample repo, but I'm not sure if it's a repo thing...

[tcoopman]

@eschaefer a workaround that works for us at the moment is to reove the 'webpack-hot-middleware/client' from dist/server/webpack.config.js

[ThaumRystra]

Using meteor npm i --save-dev @kadira/storybook instead of just npm i --save-dev @kadira/storybook fixed this for me in a Meteor project.

[eschaefer]

@tcoopman I did this as well, and it fixed the issue for now. Would still love to have hot module loading in the future, but this at least lets me move forward.

[arunoda]

This is a weird issues. Guys, help us to figure our what's going on here. (I know it's hard to create a re-producible build)

I want this to be fixed somehow.

[eschaefer]

@arunoda I will continue investigating and will report what I find. (I can't share the current repo this is happening on, unfortunately)

[tcoopman]

It's a very strange issue. At the moment I don't have time to further investigate.
I also checked the global npm packages and couldn't find anything wrong with those.

I will update when I find out more.

[arunoda]

Guys, I also found this issue. I haven't started to fix it.

Pinpoint @kadira/storybook to version 1.22.1 to get rid of this in the short-term.

Encountering the same issue while trying to learn Mantra via mantra sample blog app. Accessing the url results to empty storybook.

[vjau]

I got the same problem with 1.22.1

[arunoda]

Guys, try the new version v2.2.0. It might fix this issue.

[arunoda]

Closing this since we fixed this with v2.2.0. Please reopen if it's not.

[cookcc]

the above methods that i try fail，finally figure out my problem method is use specific version webpack-dev-sever， like 3.1.0 and on on
