Storybook not working with a symlink for source file

[hopewise]

Describe the bug
I am trying to use storybook with react-rails which is configured to store reactjs files at app/assets/javascripts/components.

The storybook project is outside the rails app, and have the files symlinked for files inside rails app at app/assets/javascripts/components

I got this error when starting storybook:

ERROR in /Users/samir/Documents/projects/backend/app/assets/javascripts/components/App.js 7:4
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (7:4)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

However, if I use the file directly in storybook without symlink it will compile normally without any issue, in the error above, it shows the source file location not the symlinked file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ln -s FULL_PATH_TO /app/assets/javascripts/components/App.js FULL_PATH_TO /storybook/devops/src/App.js
2. start storybook

Expected behavior
To compile App.js normally

System:

• OS: MacOS
• Device: Macbook Pro 2018
• Browser: chrome
• Framework: react
• Version: 4.1.11
