Steps to reproduce

Create simpliest init.lua file (see bellow) to give pckr a test but get an error at nvim launch

Actual behaviour

When nvim is launch, got following error:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: /home/<user>/.local/share/nvim/pckr/pckr.nvim/lua/pckr.lua:57: Error executing lua: ...ser>/.local/share/nvim/pckr/pckr.nvim/lua/pckr/loader.lua
:58: attempt to call field 'joinpath' (a nil value)

Press ENTER or type command to continue

Expected behaviour

Expect the declared plugin to be cloned from git and loaded in nvim.

pckr files

/home/username/.config/nvim/init.lua:

local function bootstrap_pckr()
    local pckr_path = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/pckr/pckr.nvim"

    if not vim.loop.fs_stat(pckr_path) then
      vim.fn.system({
        'git',
        'clone',
        "--filter=blob:none",
        'https://github.com/lewis6991/pckr.nvim',
        pckr_path
      })
    end

    vim.opt.rtp:prepend(pckr_path)
  end

  bootstrap_pckr()

  require('pckr').add{
  -- Simple plugins can be specified as strings
  '9mm/vim-closer';
  }
