Import attribute type: "text" does not work as expected. #8

If I do something like this:

import cssContents from "./file.css" with { type: "text" };

I expect cssContents to be the the string representation of the contents of file.css. Instead I get:

ERROR: [plugin: deno-loader] [unreachable] Not an ESM module.

I have tried debugging to see what actually causes this message but I find debugging within the deno module cache to be very confusing.

Interestingly, what I’m actually trying to do is the following:

import moduleDts from "./module.d.ts" with { type: "text" };

(yes, I am trying to load a .d.ts file as text, don’t ask me why…)

Which yields a slightly different error:

ERROR: [plugin: deno-loader] The import attribute type of "text" is unsupported.

Any idea what’s going on?
