Using with power-assert

[miohtama]

I would like to use power-assert for testing, but it conflicts with truffle-typings definitions.

1. You need to require assert in your module and the module asserts get rewritten

2. assert is already declared by truffle-typings as const and cannot be overwritten as import

Any good ideas how to work around this?

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:

    10 declare const assert: Chai.AssertStatic;
                     ~~~~~~
    'assert' was also declared here.

I made a controversial workaround here:
