Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

Storybook Addon Interactions, a vital tool for automating, testing, and debugging user interactions within Storybook, saw a recent update from version 8.0.0 to 8.0.1. The primary difference lies in the dependencies. Notably, version 8.0.1 introduces @storybook/test and @storybook/instrumenter as direct dependencies, improving the testing capabilities and potentially the instrumentation aspects of the addon. Conversely, version 8.0.0 included jest-mock as a dependency, which is no longer present in 8.0.1, suggesting a shift in the mocking strategy or its integration within the newly added @storybook/test package.

For developers, the upgrade to 8.0.1 likely brings enhanced and more streamlined testing workflows. The inclusion of @storybook/test suggests more robust and integrated testing utilities. The presence of @storybook/instrumenter implies better insights into interaction behavior and improved debugging capabilities. While both versions share core dependencies like polished, ts-dedent, @storybook/types, and @storybook/global, the tweaked dependency structure in 8.0.1 points to optimizations and refinements under the hood. Developers should evaluate if the change suits their interaction testing needs and consider the shift in dependencies when upgrading from 8.0.0, ensuring compatibility and leverage of the updated testing functionalities.
