Can't read CSV file in an artillery script file

Question

I am performing load testing of a microservice and facing an issue while using Artillery. Script is failing when reading a csv file. Trying to import input data from a file in order to create a json request.

Simplest script.yml:

config:
  target: "http://localhost:8080"
  phases:
    - duration: 1
      arrivalRate: 1
  payload:
    path: "input.csv"
    fields:
     - "flow"
scenarios:
  - flow:
     - log: "this yml log, flow: {{ flow }}"

input.csv file in the same folder:

"flow"
"SomeFlow"

simplest command used to execute:

DEBUG=* artillery run script.yml

Error stacktrace:

  artillery:cli Artillery Pro is not installed +0ms
  commands:run defaultOptions:  {
    "_": [
        "run",
        "script.yml"
    ]

Initially i thought it was a platform specific problem for Windows. Then faced the same problem on OSX. I definitely miss something minor and important here.

Looks like an issue with the latest version. when I downgraded to 1.6.0-24, it worked
