How to disable interaction testing for published storybook?

[lifan0127]

The recently added interaction testing feature has been great for development. But in some scenarios we may not want to auto-play all the interactions. Is there a way to disable interaction testing in setting?

Any update on that one? Autoplay the interactions when we open a story looks weird (Especially when the Interactions tab is not the one focused)

Hey there! There is currently no way to disable the play function to automatically run when visiting it. You can only disable the play function from automatically running in docs mode.

Regarding the interactions panel, you can actually make a story select an addon panel when visiting it by using the options parameter. You can select the interactions panel like so:

export const WithInteractions = {
  parameters: {
    options: { selectedPanel: 'storybook/interactions/panel' },
  }
}

Is there any change ?
Is it possible to stop autoplay, now ?
Or how to stop play function for not deployed version ?

@yannbf I tried overriding playFunction in beforeEach in preview.js file, but with no luck.
I am not sure if this is the right context to override.

Is there any workaround to stop running play functions?.
