"include required()" is not working

[fluency03]

I am having problem with using the keyword required for including another file.

This is NOT working:

include required(file("/path/application-secrets.conf"))

I got:

This is working:

include file("/path/application-secrets.conf")

Seems like it happens when application tries to load file from the same directory where it has been run without any path mention (I omitted insignificant lines):

~/workspace$ cat <<END >basic.conf
> property: 5
> END
~/workspace$ cat <<END >envelope.conf
> envelope {
>   include required("basic")
> }
> END
~/workspace$ amm

@ import $ivy.`com.typesafe:config:1.3.4` 
import $ivy.$                          
@ com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory.parseFile(new java.io.File("envelope.conf")) 
com.typesafe.config.ConfigException$IO: basic: basic.conf: java.io.FileNotFoundException: include was not found: 'basic.conf', basic.json: java.io.FileNotFoundException: include was not found: 'basic.json', basic.properties: java.io.FileNotFoundException: include was not found: 'basic.properties'
...
@ com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory.parseFile(new java.io.File(sys.env("PWD") + "/envelope.conf")) 
res6: com.typesafe.config.Config = Config(SimpleConfigObject({"envelope":{"property":5}}))

@ com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory.parseFile(new java.io.File("./envelope.conf")) 
res7: com.typesafe.config.Config = Config(SimpleConfigObject({"envelope":{"property":5}}))

@ Bye!
~/workspace$ cd ..
~$ amm
...
@ import $ivy.`com.typesafe:config:1.3.4` 
import $ivy.$                          

@ com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory.parseFile(new java.io.File("workspace/envelope.conf")) 
res1: com.typesafe.config.Config = Config(SimpleConfigObject({"envelope":{"property":5}}))

So there is a workaround: just add "./" or another path to argument.

But definitely it is a bug...

@eshu Did you try include required("basic.conf")?
