Transport js file is not generated unless I include a dummy import to the transport module

[segevfiner]

With the following configuration:

index.ts

import pino from 'pino';
// import 'pino-pretty';

const logger = pino({level: 'info'}, pino.multistream([pino.transport({target: 'pino-pretty'})]));
logger.info("Test");

webpack.config.ts

///

import webpack from 'webpack';
import { PinoWebpackPlugin } from 'pino-webpack-plugin';

const config: webpack.Configuration = {
target: 'node',
mode: 'development',
devtool: 'eval-source-map',

entry: {
    index: './src/index.ts',
},

resolve: {
    extensions: ['.ts', '.js']
},

output: {
    library: {
        type: 'commonjs2'
    },
},

module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ts$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: 'ts-loader',
      },
    ],
},

plugins: [
    new PinoWebpackPlugin({
        transports: ['pino-pretty']
    })
]

};

export default config;

tsconfig.json

{ "extends": "@tsconfig/node16/tsconfig.json", "include": ["src/**/*"], "compilerOptions": { "outDir": "dist", "sourceMap": true } }

Unless I uncomment the line in index.ts that imports pino-pretty, no pino-pretty.js file will be generated. This is not documented in the README and I believe shouldn't be required given we supply the plugin with a list of transports it should bundle.
