the way to solve this issue is to override puppeteer-core in the package.json with version 13.7.0

I’m using pnpm so it will be


  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "puppeteer-core": "^13.7.0",
    }
  },

you can use resolutions in case of yarn, npm

I’m on v6.4.13 and am getting this error. I’m not opted in to v7 store mode.

Ran into the same issue. Strangely I resolved it by calling sb extract from the root of the repository with the dist folder as a parameter:

npx sb extract dist/storybook/your-lib/

This strangely worked in opposite to cd dist/storybook/your-lib/ && sb extract in my case.

I am on 7.1.0 and I am still facing this issue.
