+- Fix storybook-vite not starting when `auth.ts` contains named imports after `createAuth` (#11593) by @Philzen
+
+This change fixes an issue with our internal storybook mocks. Previous to this you might find that your storybook would fail with an error like:
+
+```
+3:49:51 PM [vite] Internal server error: Transform failed with 1 error:
+…/web/src/auth.ts:2:9: ERROR: Expected identifier but found ","
+  Plugin: vite:esbuild
+  File: …/web/src/auth.ts:3:6
+
+  Expected identifier but found ","
+  1  |  import { createAuthentication as createAuth } from '@redwoodjs/testing/dist/web/mockAuth.js'
+  2  |  import { , createDbAuthClient } from '@redwoodjs/auth-dbauth-web';
+     |           ^
+  3  |  const dbAuthClient = createDbAuthClient();
+  4  |  export const {
+```
+
+This was due to a bug in our handling of imports which this change fixes.
