Build Error - No configuration files have been found in your configDir

[drewbaker]

Version

@nuxtjs/storybook:
nuxt:

Steps to reproduce

npm install --save-dev @nuxtjs/storybook

Then:
npx nuxt storybook build

What is Expected?

That the storybook gets built into a static directory.

What is actually happening?

At static build, it crashes with the following error. Notice how it is complaining about /.storybook but I'd expect that should be .nuxt-storybook. Maybe that is the issue?

The regular npx nuxt storybook runs fine, it's just the static build that is failing.

My storybook config in nuxt.config.js is this:

storybook: {
        stories: ["~/stories/**/*.stories.js"],
        parameters: {
            layout: "fullscreen",
            backgrounds: {
                default: "default",
                values: [
                    {
                        name: "White",
                        value: "#ffffff",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "Grey",
                        value: "#F2F2F2",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "Dark blue",
                        value: "#032D5B",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "Blue",
                        value: "#0B6AB7",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "Light blue",
                        value: "#EAF2FB",
                    },
                ],
            },
        },
        webpackFinal(config, { configDir }) {
            // Allow webpack to auto-load .gql and .svg files
            config.resolve.extensions.push(".gql", ".svg")

            return config
        },
    },

I found a temporary workaround.
Setting the SBCONFIG_CONFIG_DIR to ./.nuxt-storybook/storybook works for me:
env SBCONFIG_CONFIG_DIR=./.nuxt-storybook/storybook npx nuxt storybook build
