Type Error: this.getOptions is not a function For style-loader

Question

Problem

While using Storybook, I am running npm run storybook and getting the error below.

ModuleBuildError: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/style-loader/dist/cjs.js):
TypeError: this.getOptions is not a function

Background/Context

My goal is to get Storybook to be able to work with sass.

The setup is a simple one: I have scss files that get imported by the component file.

In looking up ways to accomplish this, I came across an addon to be able to do so, see this. Essentially, you can run npm i --save-dev @storybook/preset-scss style-loader css-loader sass-loader.

In doing so, I encountered my first error. It was the same error, but for sass-loader. This Stack Overflow thread helped me fix that error.

So, I guess in summary, I've tried:

• Following along with the docs (linked above)
• Following along with the Stack Overflow thread (linked above)

Relevant Dev Dependencies

"@storybook/preset-scss": "^1.0.3",
"css-loader": "^6.2.0",
"sass-loader": "^10.1.1",
"style-loader": "^3.2.1"

Thanks ahead of time!

Solution

After taking a step back, I realized that I could try out what I did to fix the sass-loader issue: downgrading major versions.

Steps

• Downgraded style-loader 1 major version to 2.0.0: npm i [email protected]
• Then, as luck would have it, I ran into the same issue with css-loader
• Downgraded css-loader 1 major version to 5.2.7: npm i [email protected]

Summary

By downgrading all of the loaders one major version, I was able to get it to work.

Solution 2

I was also running into this issue when setting up sass in storybook. The yarn script the readme provides will install the latest versions of those libraries which are no longer compatible with webpack 4 which is what storybook runs on.

For anyone else running into that issue with storybook, this is what you can run instead.

yarn add -D @storybook/preset-scss [email protected] sass [email protected] [email protected]

downgrading just style-loader got it to work for me. Thanks!

Nice! Glad it helped!

You saved my life, I literally spent 1 week because of this thing. Downgrading style-loader and css-loader worked for me as well.

Awesome! Glad I was able to help.

Thanks! A combination of this answer and this thread helped: github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/12464

The key dependency for me was the [email protected]. All the rest was optional.
