Storybook builds don't reflect example app changes#3052

馃悰 Bug Report

In Chromatic August 2026 a change was introduced where if turbosnap does not detect any changes then the storybook build is not uploaded to chromatic at all. The feature is called bypassed builds.

Because we include some extra generated content in storybook (react / angular example apps for lighthouse checks, performance results, etc) those changes are not published in the storybook if there are no source changes to stories themselves that turbosnap can detect.

See chromaui/chromatic-cli#1472

馃捇 Repro or Code Sample

The following PR demonstrates the behavior where with an example app only change the storybook publish was skipped: #3051

Workaround

Not ideal since it's a waste of snapshots for no reason but for example app / performance test only changes a workaround until a fix / feature is available from chromatic is bump the guid preview.js manually:

// Update the GUID on this line to trigger a turbosnap full rebuild: 4F8A9E2B-1C7D-4A3E-B5F6-9D8C7E6A5B4D

You probably need to do it in each subsequent commit in a PR that is non-story changes to, i.e., the example apps if you want to see the result of the changes in the built storybook.
