Do i need to install expect-webdriverio

[skorphil]

Is there any difference? Do i even need to install expect-webdriverio?

import { expect } from '@wdio/globals'
import { expect } from "expect-webdriverio";

Is there any difference?

Most likely not, but it could, for example, with Jasmine, where the expectAsync function overrides the global, then it would.
The more straightforward way to know is to do a console.log() of both, and you will see if it is the same or not.

Looking at the boilerplate project here could give you a hint since the answer is: "It depends on your project/needs".

For example, in cucumber-boilerplate, the dependency does not appear, so this means it is not always necessary. However, in my project, it is needed.
