See the announcement of Interaction Testing with Storybook in detail in this blog post or watch this video to see it in action.
The Storybook test runner uses Jest as a runner, and Playwright as a testing framework. Each one of your .stories files is transformed into a spec file, and each story becomes a test, which is run in a headless browser.
The test runner is simple in design – it just visits each story from a running Storybook instance and makes sure the component is not failing:
- For stories without a
playfunction, it verifies whether the story rendered without any errors. This is essentially a smoke test. - For those with a
playfunction, it also checks for errors in theplayfunction and that all assertions passed. This is essentially an interaction test.
If there are any failures, the test runner will provide an output with the error, alongside with a link to the failing story, so you can see the error yourself and debug it directly in the browser:
Use the following table to use the correct version of this package, based on the version of Storybook you're using:
| Test runner version | Storybook version |
|---|---|
| ^0.10.0 | ^7.0.0 |
| ~0.9.4 | ^6.4.0 |
- Install the test runner:
yarn add @storybook/test-runner -D- Add a
test-storybookscript to your package.json
{
"scripts": {
"test-storybook": "test-storybook"
}
}-
Optionally, follow the documentation for writing interaction tests and using addon-interactions to visualize the interactions with an interactive debugger in Storybook.

Run Storybook (the test runner runs against a running Storybook instance):
yarn storybook- Run the test runner:
yarn test-storybookNote The runner assumes that your Storybook is running on port
6006. If you're running Storybook in another port, either use --url or set the TARGET_URL before running your command like:yarn test-storybook --url http://127.0.0.1:9009 or TARGET_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9009 yarn test-storybook

The test runner is based on Jest and will accept most of the CLI options that Jest does, like --watch, --watchAll, --maxWorkers, etc. It works out of the box, but if you want better control over its configuration, you can eject its configuration by running test-storybook --eject to create a local test-runner-jest.config.js file in the root folder of your project. This file will be used by the test runner.
Note The
test-runner-jest.config.jsfile can be placed inside of your Storybook config dir as well. If you pass the--config-diroption, the test-runner will look for the config file there as well.
The configuration file will accept options for two runners:
The test runner uses jest-playwright and you can pass testEnvironmentOptions to further configure it.
The Storybook test runner comes with Jest installed as an internal dependency. You can pass Jest options based on the version of Jest that comes with the test runner.
| Test runner version | Jest version |
|---|---|
| ^0.6.2 | ^26.6.3 or ^27.0.0 |
| ^0.7.0 | ^28.0.0 |
If you're already using a compatible version of Jest, the test runner will use it, instead of installing a duplicate version in your node_modules folder.
The test runner uses default Jest reporters, but you can add additional reporters by ejecting the configuration as explained above and overriding (or merging with) the reporters property.
Additionally, if you pass --junit to test-storybook, the test runner will add jest-junit to the reporters list and generate a test report in a JUnit XML format. You can further configure the behavior of jest-junit by either setting specific JEST_JUNIT_* environment variables or by defining a jest-junit field in your package.json with the options you want, which will be respected when generating the report. You can look at all available options here: https://github.com/jest-community/jest-junit#configuration
By default, the test runner assumes that you're running it against a locally served Storybook on port 6006.
If you want to define a target url so it runs against deployed Storybooks, you can do so by passing the TARGET_URL environment variable:
TARGET_URL=https://the-storybook-url-here.com yarn test-storybookOr by using the --url flag:
yarn test-storybook --url https://the-storybook-url-here.comBy default, the test runner transforms your story files into tests. It also supports a secondary "index.json mode" which runs directly against your Storybook's index data, which dependending on your Storybook version is located in a stories.json or index.json, a static index of all the stories.
This is particularly useful for running against a deployed storybook because index.json is guaranteed to be in sync with the Storybook you are testing. In the default, story file-based mode, your local story files may be out of sync – or you might not even have access to the source code.
Furthermore, it is not possible to run the test-runner directly against .mdx stories or custom CSF dialects like when writing Svelte native stories with addon-svelte-csf. In these cases index.json mode must be used.
If you're using Storybook 7.0
To run in index.json mode, first make sure your Storybook has a v4 index.json file. You can find it when navigating to:
https://your-storybook-url-here.com/index.json
It should be a JSON file and the first key should be "v": 4 followed by a key called "entries" containing a map of story IDs to JSON objects.
In Storybok 7.0, index.json is enabled by default, unless you are using the storiesOf() syntax, in which case it is not supported.
On Storybook 6.4 and 6.5, to run in index.json mode, first make sure your Storybook has a file called stories.json that has "v": 3, available at:
https://your-storybook-url-here.com/stories.json
If your Storybook does not have a stories.json file, you can generate one, provided:
- You are running Storybook 6.4 or above
- You are not using
storiesOfstories
To enable stories.json in your Storybook, set the buildStoriesJson feature flag in .storybook/main.js:
module.exports = {
features: { buildStoriesJson: true },
};Once you have a valid stories.json file, your Storybook will be compatible with the "index.json mode".
By default, the test runner will detect whether your Storybook URL is local or remote, and if it is remote, it will run in "index.json mode" automatically. To disable it, you can pass the --no-index-json flag:
yarn test-storybook --no-index-jsonIf you are running tests against a local Storybook but for some reason want to run in "index.json mode", you can pass the --index-json flag:
yarn test-storybook --index-jsonNote index.json mode is not compatible with watch mode.
If you want to add the test-runner to CI, there are a couple of ways to do so:
On Github actions, once services like Vercel, Netlify and others do deployment runs, they follow a pattern of emitting a deployment_status event containing the newly generated URL under deployment_status.target_url. You can use that URL and set it as TARGET_URL for the test-runner.
Here's an example of an action to run tests based on that:
name: Storybook Tests
on: deployment_status
jobs:
test:
timeout-minutes: 60
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
if: github.event.deployment_status.state == 'success'
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14.x'
- name: Install dependencies
run: yarn
- name: Run Storybook tests
run: yarn test-storybook
env:
TARGET_URL: '${{ github.event.deployment_status.target_url }}'Note If you're running the test-runner against a
TARGET_URLof a remotely deployed Storybook (e.g. Chromatic), make sure that the URL loads a publicly available Storybook. Does it load correctly when opened in incognito mode on your browser? If your deployed Storybook is private and has authentication layers, the test-runner will hit them and thus not be able to access your stories. If that is the case, use the next option instead.
In order to build and run tests against your Storybook in CI, you might need to use a combination of commands involving the concurrently, http-server and wait-on libraries. Here's a recipe that does the following: Storybook is built and served locally, and once it is ready, the test runner will run against it.
{
"test-storybook:ci": "concurrently -k -s first -n \"SB,TEST\" -c \"magenta,blue\" \"yarn build-storybook --quiet && npx http-server storybook-static --port 6006 --silent\" \"wait-on tcp:6006 && yarn test-storybook\""
}And then you can essentially run test-storybook:ci in your CI:
name: Storybook Tests
on: push
jobs:
test:
timeout-minutes: 60
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14.x'
- name: Install dependencies
run: yarn
- name: Run Storybook tests
run: yarn test-storybook:ciNote Building Storybook locally makes it simple to test Storybooks that could be available remotely, but are under authentication layers. If you also deploy your Storybooks somewhere (e.g. Chromatic, Vercel, etc.), the Storybook URL can still be useful with the test-runner. You can pass it to the
REFERENCE_URLenvironment variable when running the test-storybook command, and if a story fails, the test-runner will provide a helpful message with the link to the story in your published Storybook instead.
The test runner supports code coverage with the --coverage flag or STORYBOOK_COLLECT_COVERAGE environment variable. The pre-requisite is that your components are instrumented using istanbul.
Instrumenting the code is an important step, which allows lines of code to be tracked by Storybook. This is normally achieved by using instrumentation libraries such as the Istanbul Babel plugin, or its Vite counterpart. In Storybook, you can set up instrumentation in two different ways:
For select frameworks (React, Preact, HTML, Web components, Svelte and Vue) you can use the @storybook/addon-coverage addon, which will automatically configure the plugin for you.
Install @storybook/addon-coverage:
yarn add -D @storybook/addon-coverageAnd register it in your .storybook/main.js file:
// .storybook/main.js
module.exports = {
// ...rest of your code here
addons: ['@storybook/addon-coverage'],
};The addon has default options that might suffice for your project, and it accepts an options object for project-specific configuration.
If your framework does not use Babel or Vite, such as Angular, you will have to manually configure whatever flavor of Istanbul (Webpack loader, etc.) your project might require. Also, if your project uses Vue or Svelte, you will need to add one extra configuration for nyc.
You can find recipes in this repository that include many different configurations and steps on how to set up coverage in each of them.
After setting up instrumentation, run Storybook then run the test-runner with --coverage:
yarn test-storybook --coverageThe test runner will report the results in the CLI and generate a coverage/storybook/coverage-storybook.json file which can be used by nyc.
Note If your components are not shown in the report and you're using Vue or Svelte, it's probably because you're missing a .nycrc.json file to specify the file extensions. Use the recipes for reference on how to set that up.
If you want to generate coverage reports with different reporters, you can use nyc and point it to the folder which contains the Storybook coverage file. nyc is a dependency of the test runner so you will already have it in your project.
Here's an example generating an lcov report:
npx nyc report --reporter=lcov -t coverage/storybook --report-dir coverage/storybook
This will generate a more detailed, interactive coverage summary that you can access at coverage/storybook/index.html file which can be explored and will show the coverage in detail:
The nyc command will respect nyc configuration files if you have them in your project.
If you want certain parts of your code to be deliberately ignored, you can use istanbul parsing hints.
The test runner reports coverage related to the coverage/storybook/coverage-storybook.json file. This is by design, showing you the coverage which is tested while running Storybook.
Now, you might have other tests (e.g. unit tests) which are not covered in Storybook but are covered when running tests with Jest, which you might also generate coverage files from, for instance. In such cases, if you are using tools like Codecov to automate reporting, the coverage files will be detected automatically and if there are multiple files in the coverage folder, they will be merged automatically.
Alternatively, in case you want to merge coverages from other tools, you should:
1 - move or copy the coverage/storybook/coverage-storybook.json into coverage/coverage-storybook.json;
2 - run nyc report against the coverage folder.
Here's an example on how to achieve that:
{
"scripts": {
"test:coverage": "jest --coverage",
"test-storybook:coverage": "test-storybook --coverage",
"coverage-report": "cp coverage/storybook/coverage-storybook.json coverage/coverage-storybook.json && nyc report --reporter=html -t coverage --report-dir coverage"
}
}Note If your other tests (e.g. Jest) are using a different coverageProvider than
babel, you will have issues when merging the coverage files. More info here.
The test-runner collects all coverage in one file coverage/storybook/coverage-storybook.json. To split the coverage file you should rename it using the shard-index. To report the coverage you should merge the coverage files with the nyc merge command.

However, there are certain behaviors that are not possible to achieve via the play function, which executes in the browser. For example, if you want the test runner to take visual snapshots for you, this is something that is possible via Playwright/Jest, but must be executed in Node.
To enable use cases like visual or DOM snapshots, the test runner exports test hooks that can be overridden globally. These hooks give you access to the test lifecycle before and after the story is rendered.
There are three hooks: setup, preRender, and postRender. setup executes once before all the tests run. preRender and postRender execute within a test before and after a story is rendered.
The render functions are async functions that receive a Playwright Page and a context object with the current story's id, title, and name. They are globally settable by @storybook/test-runner's setPreRender and setPostRender APIs.
All three functions can be set up in the configuration file .storybook/test-runner.js which can optionally export any of these functions.
Apart from these hooks, there are additional properties you can set in .storybook/test-runner.js:
The test-runner has a default prepare function which gets the browser in the right environment before testing the stories. You can override this behavior, in case you might want to hack the behavior of the browser. For example, you might want to set a cookie, or add query parameters to the visiting URL, or do some authentication before reaching the Storybook URL. You can do that by overriding the prepare function.
The prepare function receives an object containing:
browserContext: a Playwright Browser Context instancepage: a Playwright Page instance.testRunnerConfig: the test runner configuration object, coming from the.storybook/test-runner.js.
For reference, please use the default prepare function as a starting point.
Note If you override the default prepare behavior, even though this is powerful, you will be responsible for properly preparing the browser. Future changes to the default prepare function will not get included in your project, so you will have to keep an eye out for changes in upcoming releases.
The test-runner makes a few fetch calls to check the status of a Storybook instance, and to get the index of the Storybook's stories. Additionally, it visits a page using Playwright. In all of these scenarios, it's possible, depending on where your Storybook is hosted, that you might need to set some HTTP headers. For example, if your Storybook is hosted behind a basic authentication, you might need to set the Authorization header. You can do so by passing a getHttpHeaders function to your test-runner config. That function receives the url of the fetch calls and page visits, and should return an object with the headers to be set.
// .storybook/test-runner.js
module.exports = {
getHttpHeaders: async (url) => {
const token = url.includes('prod') ? 'XYZ' : 'ABC';
return {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
};
},
};Note These test hooks are experimental and may be subject to breaking changes. We encourage you to test as much as possible within the story's play function.
The postRender function provides a Playwright page instance, of which you can use for DOM snapshot testing:
// .storybook/test-runner.js
module.exports = {
async postRender(page, context) {
// the #root element wraps the story. From Storybook 7.0 onwards, the selector should be #storybook-root
const elementHandler = await page.$('#root');
const innerHTML = await elementHandler.innerHTML();
expect(innerHTML).toMatchSnapshot();
},
};When running with --stories-json, tests get generated in a temporary folder and snapshots get stored alongside. You will need to --eject and configure a custom snapshotResolver to store them elsewhere, e.g. in your working directory:
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
resolveSnapshotPath: (testPath, snapshotExtension) =>
path.join(process.cwd(), '__snapshots__', path.basename(testPath) + snapshotExtension),
resolveTestPath: (snapshotFilePath, snapshotExtension) =>
path.join(process.env.TEST_ROOT, path.basename(snapshotFilePath, snapshotExtension)),
testPathForConsistencyCheck: path.join(process.env.TEST_ROOT, 'example.test.js'),
};Here's a slightly different recipe for image snapshot testing:
// .storybook/test-runner.js
const { toMatchImageSnapshot } = require('jest-image-snapshot');
const customSnapshotsDir = `${process.cwd()}/__snapshots__`;
module.exports = {
setup() {
expect.extend({ toMatchImageSnapshot });
},
async postRender(page, context) {
// If you want to take screenshot of multiple browsers, use
// page.context().browser().browserType().name() to get the browser name to prefix the file name
const image = await page.screenshot();
expect(image).toMatchImageSnapshot({
customSnapshotsDir,
customSnapshotIdentifier: context.id,
});
},
};There is also an exported TestRunnerConfig type available for TypeScript users.
To visualize the test lifecycle, consider a simplified version of the test code automatically generated for each story in your Storybook:
it('button--basic', async () => {
// filled in with data for the current story
const context = { id: 'button--basic', title: 'Button', name: 'Basic' };
// playwright page https://playwright.dev/docs/pages
await page.goto(STORYBOOK_URL);
// pre-render hook
if (preRender) await preRender(page, context);
// render the story and run its play function (if applicable)
await page.execute('render', context);
// post-render hook
if (postRender) await postRender(page, context);
});For more specific use cases, the test runner provides utility functions that could be useful to you.
While running tests using the hooks, you might want to get information from a story, such as the parameters passed to it, or its args. The test runner now provides a getStoryContext utility function that fetches the story context for the current story:
await getStoryContext(page, context);You can use it for multiple use cases, and here's an example that combines the story context and accessibility testing:
// .storybook/test-runner.js
const { getStoryContext } = require('@storybook/test-runner');
const { injectAxe, checkA11y, configureAxe } = require('axe-playwright');
module.exports = {
async preRender(page, context) {
await injectAxe(page);
},
async postRender(page, context) {
// Get entire context of a story, including parameters, args, argTypes, etc.
const storyContext = await getStoryContext(page, context);
// Do not test a11y for stories that disable a11y
if (storyContext.parameters?.a11y?.disable) {
return;
}
// Apply story-level a11y rules
await configureAxe(page, {
rules: storyContext.parameters?.a11y?.config?.rules,
});
// from Storybook 7.0 onwards, the selector should be #storybook-root
await checkA11y(page, '#root', {
detailedReport: true,
detailedReportOptions: {
html: true,
},
// pass axe options defined in @storybook/addon-a11y
axeOptions: storyContext.parameters?.a11y?.options,
});
},
};The test-runner adds a StorybookTestRunner entry to the browser's user agent. You can use it to determine if a story is rendering in the context of the test runner. This might be useful if you want to disable certain features in your stories when running in the test runner, though it's likely an edge case.
export const MyStory = () => {
const isTestRunner = window.navigator.userAgent.match(/StorybookTestRunner/);
return (
<div>
<p>Is this story running in the test runner?</p>
<p>{isTestRunner ? 'Yes' : 'No'}</p>
</div>
);
};Given that this check is happening in the browser, it is only applicable in the following scenarios:
- inside of a render/template function of a story
- inside of a play function
- inside of preview.js
- inside any other code that is executed in the browser
By default, the test runner truncates error outputs at 1000 characters, and you can check the full output directly in Storybook, in the browser. If you do want to change that limit, however, you can do so by setting the DEBUG_PRINT_LIMIT environment variable to a number of your choosing, for example, DEBUG_PRINT_LIMIT=5000 yarn test-storybook.
If your tests are timing out with Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within the 15000 ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout, it might be that playwright couldn't handle to test the amount of stories you have in your project. Maybe you have a large amount of stories or your CI has a really low RAM configuration.
In either way, to fix it you should limit the amount of workers that run in parallel by passing the --maxWorkers option to your command:
{
"test-storybook:ci": "concurrently -k -s first -n \"SB,TEST\" -c \"magenta,blue\" \"yarn build-storybook --quiet && npx http-server storybook-static --port 6006 --silent\" \"wait-on tcp:6006 && yarn test-storybook --maxWorkers=2\""
}There is currently a bug in Jest which means tests cannot be on a separate drive than the project. To work around this you will need to set the TEMP environment variable to a temporary folder on the same drive as your project. Here's what that would look like on GitHub Actions:
env:
# Workaround for https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/8536
TEMP: ${{ runner.temp }}As the test runner is based on playwright, depending on your CI setup you might need to use specific docker images or other configuration. In that case, you can refer to the Playwright CI docs for more information.
After merging test coverage reports coming from the test runner with reports from other tools (e.g. Jest), if the end result is not what you expected. Here's why:
The test runner uses babel as coverage provider, which behaves in a certain way when evaluating code coverage. If your other reports happen to use a different coverage provider than babel, such as v8, they will evaluate the coverage differently. Once merged, the results will likely be wrong.
Example: in v8, import and export lines are counted as coverable pieces of code, however in babel, they are not. This impacts the percentage of coverage calculation.
While the test runner does not provide v8 as an option for coverage provider, it is recommended that you set your application's Jest config to use coverageProvider: 'babel' if you can, so that the reports line up as expected and get merged correctly.
For more context, here's some explanation why v8 is not a 1:1 replacement for Babel/Istanbul coverage.
