Reproduce donejs add plugin in an existing project such as can-vdom and inspect the generator path shown in the error, node_modules/generator-donejs/plugin/templates/readme.md, along with the generated package.json. Trace the CLI entry point that initializes the project and confirm that the command completes without the reported template ReferenceError.
