+});
+
+// NOTE: this file should contain a snapshot test, but it is temporarily disabled.
+//
+// From @tmeasday: "Both Lerna/npm5 and Jest are incompatible, so we cannot run
+// Jest tests right now, unless we go to great lengths (see `test-cra`'s build process)."
+//
+// A succinct repro here: https://github.com/tmeasday/preserve-symlinks-test
+//
+// Once this difference is resolved, we should uncomment the following code:
+//
+// import initStoryshots, { snapshotWithOptions } from '@storybook/addon-storyshots';
+// import path from 'path';
+//
+// function createNodeMock(element) {
+//   if (element.type === 'div') {
+//     return { scrollWidth: 123 };
+//   }
+//   return null;
+// }
+//
+// initStoryshots({
+//   framework: 'react',
+//   configPath: path.join(__dirname, '..', '.storybook'),
+//   test: snapshotWithOptions({
+//     createNodeMock,
+//   }),
+// });
