Storybook fails to load a custom class extending Date

[Mintoo200]

Describe the bug
I added a custom class extending Date to my project adding some helper functions but storybook considers every occurence where I use it as a simple Date and throws a <helper function> is not a function. This problem does not occur when I start the CRA app with the Calendar directly.

To Reproduce

1. clone this repository on Github
2. start the storybook with $ yarn; yarn storybook
3. navigate to localhost:6006
4. go to Calendar>Default

You can start the working CRA app with $ yarn start

Expected behavior
The calendar should be displayed with no error.

Additional context

The problem still occurs when the storybook is built and served with npx serve. I also tried reinstalling all dependencies.
Also casting the Date to a CustomDate as I call the helper function (with (new CustomDate(myDate)).helperFunction() or (myDate as CustomDate).helperFunction()) still cause the error to trigger.

Hey, any update on this?

We’re cleaning house! Storybook has changed a lot since this issue was created and we don’t know if it’s still valid. Please open a new issue referencing this one if:

• this is still a problem in SB 7.x
• you can provide a consistent reproduction in 7.x (at https://storybook.new/ or per repro docs).
