Chromatic CLI not building storybook

Question

I am not able to get chromatic cli v5.4.0 to build my storybook. It worked the first time and then hangs on subsequent attempts.

  ➜  my-project git:(storybook-poc) ✗ yarn chromatic
  yarn run v1.22.10
$ npx chromatic --project-token xxxfooxxx

    Publish your built Storybook

The output of that var directory never contains anything more then the following, despite leaving running for several minutes:

ls -la /var/folders/1t/9d_7zrws2p52d2gw918m16wr0000gq/T/chromatic--50970-DBkh6i7fBaPe

I am working around this for now by using the following command, so perhaps something permissions based ‍♂️. Suggestions welcome!

./node_modules/.bin/chromatic --project-token=xxxxfooxxxx

Upgrading to [email protected] as per @Gert_Hengeveld comment has remedied the issue for build. Many thanks!
