CLI: Warn when the preview still imports the Custom Elements Manifest by huang-julien · Pull Request #36777 · storybookjs/storybook

What I did

Found during Qa.

web-components automigration removes setCustomElementsManifest(...) from the preview.
If other preview code still uses the imported manifest, the migration keeps the import, and until now it did so silently.

That leftover import causes problems:

Docs now read the manifest from disk, so preview code that changes the imported manifest has no effect.
The whole manifest still ships in the preview bundle.
An invalid manifest makes storybook build fail because it goes through the vite pipeline

The migration now warns and names the code that still uses the import:

.storybook/preview.ts still imports ../custom-elements.json for: `WebComponentFormatter(customElements)`.
Docs now read the manifest from disk, so changes made to it in the preview no longer apply, and the import makes the preview build fail when the manifest is invalid.
Move manifest transforms into your manifest generator (for example an analyzer plugin), then remove the import.

The import is also removed more often.
A function parameter that happens to share the import's name no longer counts as a use, so the import is dropped when that's the only match.

Walkthrough

The preview-call helper now returns structured removal results and tracks references to imported arguments. The Web Components migration tracks manifest files, preserves imports that remain in use, and warns about top-level manifest readers. The Angular migration now handles the structured result.

Changes

Preview migration behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preview call analysis and removal `code/lib/cli-storybook/src/automigrate/helpers/preview-call.ts`	The helper returns structured removal results, identifies references resolved to program-level bindings, and reports identifier arguments that remain in use. Import filtering retains those arguments.
Migration handling and reader warnings `code/lib/cli-storybook/src/automigrate/fixes/web-components-runtime-manifest.ts`, `code/lib/cli-storybook/src/automigrate/fixes/web-components-runtime-manifest.test.ts`, `code/lib/cli-storybook/src/automigrate/fixes/angular-vite-remove-compodoc.ts`	The Web Components migration passes manifest paths into preview cleanup, removes unused matching imports, and warns about top-level readers of retained manifest imports. Tests cover manifest discovery, retained imports, remaining setters, reader warnings, and shadowed names. The Angular migration reads the helper’s structured removal result.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b8bbf

A preview that still reads a namespace-imported manifest may receive no cleanup warning. This is a bounded migration gap, but it remains unresolved.

Use vi.mocked() for the new mock assertions.

These four assertions access logger.warn directly. Wrap each access with vi.mocked(logger.warn). As per coding guidelines, “Use vi.mocked() to type and access the mocked functions.”
