Scoped symlinks in node_modules not working

[nschnierer]

Issue details

Scoped symlinks (e.g. @babel/core) in node_modules not working with @storybook/react-native.
https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/blob/4465ffa25da33a47e9233756c627373ba39893c9/app/react-native/src/bin/storybook-start.js#L62

findSymlinksPaths is not able to find scoped symlinks. There is an closed pull-request for a fix (facebook/react-native#12400) but nothing happened yet, because metro is handling this part now.

Steps to reproduce

In lerna we are able to add dependencies as a symlink:

lerna add @boring/package --scope=@boring/storybook-native

Please specify which version of Storybook and optionally any affected addons that you're running

• @storybook/react-native 3.3.14

Affected platforms

macOS

Got a workaround for this issue. With a haul (https://github.com/callstack/haul) config we are able to solve this problem (feature pull-request #1294 🙏).

Create a config file (e.g. haul.config.js):

const path = require('path');

module.exports = ({ platform }, defaults) => ({
  entry: `./storybook/index.${platform}.js`,
  resolve: {
    ...defaults.resolve,
    modules: [path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules')]
  }
});

Edit npm run storybook command in package.json:

"scripts": {
  "storybook": "storybook start -p 7007 --haul haul.config.js"
},
