Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module on local plugin #2483

Describe the bug

Seems to be unable to load ESM for a local plugin.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a file at .auto/plugins/test.ts
  2. add console.log('Works') in tests.ts file
  3. In .autorc, do the following
{
  "plugins": [
    ... // other plugins
    "./.auto/plugins/test.ts" 
  ],
  // other config
}
  1. Run yarn auto shipit -d

output:

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /Users/tlkiong/Desktop/work/test/.auto/plugins/test.ts
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /Users/tlkiong/Desktop/work/test/.auto/plugins/commit-sha.ts from /Users/tlkiong/Desktop/work/test/node_modules/import-from/index.js is an ES module file as it is a .ts file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .ts files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /Users/tlkiong/Desktop/work/test/package.json.

And yes, I have "type": "module", in my package.json
