BF CLI Orchestrator creation with .dispatch file Error

[WNikolassss]

Github issues should be used for bugs and feature requests. Use Stack Overflow for general "how-to" questions.

Version

@microsoft/botframework-cli/4.14.1 darwin-x64 node-v14.17.5
MacOS

Describe the bug

During the orchestrator creation with .dispatch file this error occurs:
"Please provide path to input file/folder".
Basically, was just following these steps: https://github.com/microsoft/botframeworksdk/blob/main/Orchestrator/docs/DispatchMigrationExample.md

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install latest NodeJS and npm from https://nodejs.org/en/
2. Open Terminal and Install Botframework CLI via npm i -g @microsoft/botframework-cli
3. Open the desired directory with test.dispatch file in it and type: bf orchestrator:basemodel:get --out model
4. Next command: bf orchestrator:create --in ./test.dispatch --model ./model --out ./generated -d
5. See error (debug logs attached)

Expected behavior

Should say success and train the previously created model so it can be used in the bot.

Debug logs

bf orchestrator:create --in ./test.dispatch --model ./model --out ./generated -d
