Expected Behavior

convert should return:

aws.s3_bucket.S3Bucket(self, "bucket",
    logging=aws.s3_bucket.S3BucketLogging(
        target_bucket="target"
    )
)

Actual Behavior

convert returns no proper access for S3BucketLogging

aws.s3_bucket.S3Bucket(self, "bucket",
    logging=S3BucketLogging(
        target_bucket="target"
    )
)

Steps to Reproduce

Convert the following snippet to e.g. Python

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "bucket" {
  logging {
    target_bucket = "target"
  }
}

This might also be fixable by doing granular imports rather than star imports

[mutahhir]

Granular imports were implemented, but they don't help in this specific case.

When we generate TypeScript, we don't import types as they're implicitly handled. When JSII/Rosetta converts the code to the destination language, it doesn't add import statements to the newly added types.

There are two ways of doing this. One is to fix this on the JSII side (recommended), and the other is to make the convert code know about this issue and have it add type imports (possibly faster to implement / easier).
