Depcheck does not recognize some true dependencies

[blaisn]

We use 3 dependencies in our project but they are reported as beeing unused by depcheck:

Unused dependencies
* express-openapi-validate
* swagger-ui-express
Unused devDependencies
* esm-seedrandom

They are imported about the same way in 3 different files:

file 1 express route: import swaggerUi from "swagger-ui-express";
file 2 exoress middleware: import { OpenApiValidator } from "express-openapi-validate";
file 3 utilities: import { prng_alea } from "esm-seedrandom";

I put those 3 deps in the "ignores" section of .depcheckckrc and it then does not report any unused module.

Thanks

We could really use some more information about this issue, could you give us the versions of node, npm, depcheck and ideally the output of depcheck --json (after removing the 3 dependencies from the ignores section)
