E8108 error

wowlua:test / wowlua:mock imported outside a test file

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

A file of the addon imports wowlua:test or wowlua:mock. These modules exist only in wowlua test's emulated client, not in the game, and test files are never part of an addon build. Move the code into a test file: a *.test.wowlua file, or a file under tests/.

Example

× failswowlua

import expect from "wowlua:test" expect(1 + 1).toBe(2)

✓ compilestests/math.test.wowluawowlua

import test, expect from "wowlua:test" @test("adds")local function adds()    expect(1 + 1).toBe(2)end

The compiler reports it like this:
