How are you using Babel?

@babel/cli

Input code

import * as babel from '@babel/core';
import {MyNamespace} from 'myimport';

import b = babel;
import x = MyNamespace.x;

Configuration file name

No response

Configuration

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    "@babel/plugin-transform-typescript"
  ]
};

Current and expected behavior

Both imports should be retained, however the second import is incorrectly removed.

Output:

import * as babel from '@babel/core';
var b = babel;
var x = MyNamespace.x;

expected output:

import * as babel from '@babel/core';
import {MyNamespace} from 'myimport'
var b = babel;
var x = MyNamespace.x;

The code is incorrect and fails at runtime with MyNamespace being undefined.

The unit test test case for the import alias feature tests the first style of import but not the second.

Environment

• @babel/core: 7.19.0
• @babel/cli: 7.18.10
• @babel/plugin-transform-typescript: 7.19.0

Possible solution

retain the import in the generated code.
