[Bug]: Parameter docs.autodocs = false not working

[stefano-8wave]

Describe the bug

versions

"vue": 3.2.47 "@storybook/builder-vite": "7.0.2", "@storybook/vue3-vite": "7.0.2", "vite": "4.2.1", "storybook": "7.0.2", "@storybook/addon-essentials": "7.0.2", "@storybook/...": "7.0.2",

Expected

I want to hide all the "Docs" autogenerated files on the sidebar. From the documentation I can set:

docs: {
       autodocs: false,
},

Unexpected

But It's not working. The docs files always exists. Only with the config below I can hide all the docs files, but then "storybook dev" command is not working:

addons: [
        {
            name: '@storybook/addon-essentials',
             options: {
                docs: false,
            },
        },
     ]

With the above config, docs correctly hides but the storybook dev command has this warning for all my stories: "Unable to index files" "... No matching story indexer found ....."

Any suggestion to hide docs files?

To Reproduce

Use this config on the main.js with the above versions.

export default {
    stories: ['../src/**/*.mdx', '../src/**/*.stories.@(js|jsx|ts|tsx)'],
    addons: [
        '@storybook/addon-a11y',
        '@storybook/addon-links',
        {
            name: '@storybook/addon-essentials',
        },
        '@storybook/addon-interactions',
        'storybook-dark-mode',
        'storybook-version',
    ],
    framework: {
        name: '@storybook/vue3-vite',
    },
    staticDirs: ['./static'],
    docs: {
        autodocs: false,
    },
    features: {
        storyStoreV7: false,
        interactionsDebugger: true,
        buildStoriesJson: true,
    },
}

Run the dev storybook command:

storybook dev -p 6006

Additional context

On the previous storybook version (7.0.0-beta.40) I can hide all the autogenerated docs files adding this to the config:

docs: {
    disabled: true,
},

But with 7.0.2 is not working.

I tried this out in a fresh Vite project and it worked fine for me, so I'm wondering if it's a problem with multiple versions in your node_modules or something like that.

Do you a have a reproduction repo you can share? If not, can you create one? See how to create a repro.

@shilman Yes, with npx storybook@next sandbox is working, so maybe is a package.. You can try here https://github.com/volverjs/ui-vue/tree/develop

[stefano-8wave]

@shilman Ok, the problem maybe is the .mdx file stories i think.. on mdx files can i disable the autodocs?

FYI @stefano24 @shilman I have reproduced this as well here:

https://github.com/stevus/storybook-autodocs-false-repro/tree/master

I can either create another issue or this one could potentially be reopened?

What is the solution to hide the Docs entry for all stories?

This is the single story:

https://github.com/stevus/storybook-autodocs-false-repro/blob/master/jsx/SampleStory.stories.mdx

import { Meta, Story } from '@storybook/addon-docs'
import App from './App'

<Meta title='App' component={App} />

<Story
  name='App'>
  <App />
</Story>

main.js file:

https://github.com/stevus/storybook-autodocs-false-repro/blob/master/%40storybook/main.js

module.exports = {
  addons: [
    '@storybook/addon-links',
    '@storybook/addon-controls',
    '@storybook/addon-a11y',
    '@storybook/addon-essentials',
    '@storybook/addon-interactions',
  ],
  docs: {
    autodocs: 'false',
  },
  features: {
    postcss: false,
  },
  framework: {
    name: '@storybook/react-vite',
    options: {},
  },
  stories: ['../jsx/**/*.stories.mdx', '../stories/**/*.stories.mdx'],
}

'../stories/*/.stories.mdx' does not exist, needs to be removed, but that shouldn't effect the outcome here.
