Storybook crashes when using Addon Knobs (evaluating this.props.channel.on)

[DaniyarJakupov]

Version
App bootstrapped with create-react-native-app.

"react-native": "0.46.1",
"@storybook/addon-knobs": "^3.2.0",
"@storybook/react-native": "3.2.3",

Reproduction
When I add withKnobs decorator to the story, storybook crashes with this error:

As soon as I remove .addDecorator(withKnobs) everything is working fine
Index.js

import React from 'react';
import { Text } from 'react-native';

import { storiesOf } from '@storybook/react-native';
import { action } from '@storybook/addon-actions';
import { linkTo } from '@storybook/addon-links';
import { withKnobs, text, boolean, number, select } from '@storybook/addon-knobs';

import Button from './Button';
import CenterView from './CenterView';
import Welcome from './Welcome';
import Label from './Label';

storiesOf('Welcome', module).add('to Storybook', () => <Welcome showApp={linkTo('Button')} />);

storiesOf('Label', module)
  .addDecorator(getStory =>
    <CenterView>
      {getStory()}
    </CenterView>
  )
  .addDecorator(withKnobs)
  .add('vertical', () =>
    <Label
      onPress={action('clicked-text')}
      title={text('Title', 'Place')}
      population={number('Population', 8)}
      secondary={boolean('Secondary', false)}
    />
  );

I am not sure why, but when I npm i -D react-inspector everything got fixed.

@DaniyarJakupov, I found the issue, I am working on pr to fix it. I should be able to fix it today.

Same for me, but installing react-inspector has not fixed the issue.

[DaniyarJakupov]

Just downgrade to "3.1.9" version. That should do the trick. At least it worked for me

[Gongreg]

@DaniyarJakupov, @kwelch the pr is still not merged. So yes, for now switch to older version. I'll notify you when pr is merged.

I ran into a similar issue with Storybook and React Native:

const stories = storiesOf('XY', module)
  .add('crash', () => {
    const foo = Knobs.text('42');
    return <Text>{foo}</Text>;
  });
  
stories.addDecorator(Knobs.withKnobs);

Which version would you recommend to use? I tried 3.1.9 but ran into further issues...

[Gongreg]

@aloifolia, hey, did you try adding decorator before stories? It looks like knobs are trying to emit events even though the decorator is not created yet.

This is still an issue for me with version 3.2.13
