To Reproduce

• Add "type": "module" to testapps/rag/pacakge.json
• Build and run with genkit start
• ~Remove genkitEvals plugin in testapps/rag/src/index.ts if #158 is not merged yet.~ (This is now merged)

Expected behavior Genkit starts without errors

Runtime

• OS: Linux

Node version

• v20.11.1

This error is the error you get when you call definePrompt but the dotprompt plugin has not been installed. I tried building the dotprompt extension as an ESM module and it seems to work fine. I don't think this is an issue with ESM compatibility.

[ssbushi]

The issue is with the way dotprompt is compiled in ESM mode I believe (The sample installs the plugin correctly).

Based on conversations with @pavelgj, a possible fix is to make it so that defineDotprompt does not depend on dotprompt plugin.
