Tutorial II - Introduction to Storybook - Storybook not updating when i update components

[jacebenson]

i'm not sure if this is a local issue but when i was going through the storybook section, the storybook site just loaded components as empty sometimes. terminating the storybook server and starting it again seemed to correct the issue but I wanted to log this so we can verify its not across platform or if its's windows 11 specific we can call it out.

The current behavior of the Storybook server is that it does not reload and pick up changes to the mocks for situations where a Page contains a Cell — without restart, the Page will not display the Cell and mocked data correctly.

This needs a better diagnoses include a reproduction in it's own Issue. On my list but would appreciate help if anyone can beat me to it.

For now, we might need to add this as a callout in the Tutorial.

Huh, is this a fairly new problem? If I had run into that when writing the tutorial I definitely would have called that out. So this is only an issue when changing data in a cell's mocks file, correct? And when you say "restart" you mean actually restart the Storybook process, not just manually refresh the browser?

this seems to be a dupe of #4717

@jtoar, is this task still available? Keen to assist if so :)

Hey @gracemorganmaxwell 👋 I think the first step here would be to confirm if this (and #4717 if it's related) is still an open issue and the problem still exist since this is originally 2 years old now. Let me know if you want to take this on and dive deeper into it?
