Error while installing SB with PNPM on SvelteKit project

[rcmcsweeney]

pnpm version:

6.10.3

Code to reproduce the issue:

pnpm init svelte@next new_folder_name
cd new_folder_name
pnpm i
Either pnpx sb init or pnpx sb@next init (sb 6.4.0-alpha.20)

Expected behavior:

Install StorybookJS to a Svelte project with pnpm.

Actual behavior:

✔ Install the following package: sb@next? (Y/n) · true
 WARN  sb: @storybook/cli@6.4.0-alpha.20 requires a peer of jest@* but none was installed.

I can reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 21.04 with pnpm 6.10.3

The issue may be that storybook cli supports only npm or yarn and tries to use npm. It was posted as a workaround for a different issue but following the steps in this comment storybookjs/storybook#12995 (comment) might do the trick.

For now these steps should work to setup a package in a monorepo (I'm using Svelte & pnpm):

mkdir monorepo-package
pnpm init
pnpm i svelte              # To make SB recognize the package as a svelte project
pnpx sb init -s            # Don’t install packages, only setup the files/folders/package.json
pnpm i                     # Manually install the new deps
pnpm i -D @storybook/cli   # Also need this for start-storybook command
pnpm storybook
