packer.nvim/lua/packer.lua:110: module 'packer.luarocks' not found:

[raisfeld-ori]

• nvim --version: 0.9.4
• git --version: git 2.42.0
• Operating system/version: windows 11
• Terminal name/version: terminal (the microsoft store version of the command line)

Steps to reproduce

install NvChad
create a directory inside the lua directory and require it in init.lua.
in the new directory, add an init.lua file and
install packer according to the docs without luarocks installed before.
add the line vim.o.runtimepath = vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/site/pack/*/start/*,' .. vim.o.runtimepath to packer.lua.
try using :PackerSync, this is what resulted for the issue for me.

Actual behaviour

when i try to use PackerSync or PackerCompile i get an error

E5108: Error executing lua: Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua ...m-data\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim/lua/packer.lua:110: module 'packer.luarocks' not found:

Expected behaviour

for :PackerSync to work lol

packer files

here is packer.lua file i'm currently using:

-- This file can be loaded by calling `lua require('plugins')` from your init.vim
vim.o.runtimepath = vim.fn.stdpath('data') .. '/site/pack/*/start/*,' .. vim.o.runtimepath

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  -- Packer can manage itself
  use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'


end)
