Description

🚀 Feature Proposal

When import of assert not used do not put it into js file. Also key and until should not be in exported script, when are not used.

Motivation

Typescript signal it as unused import and potential error. Also export files will be shorter.

Example

IDE Script without assert in generated file will have const assert = require('assert')//this line is not needed.

Research direction
Explore the code generation module for Mocha export in the repository. Look for files that handle adding imports like `assert`, `key`, and `until` to generated test scripts. Determine where the decision to include these imports is made and implement a check to only include them if actually used in the test script.
