Unable to install dependencies from requirements.txt while creating dataflow template - python-3.x

Question

I have a dataflow code in python 3.6 that works to copy data from pubsub topic into GCS bucket but when I create a template version of it with DataflowRunner I have this error:
Pip install failed for package: -r

I am using below deployment command:
python -m df-pubsubRead-gcsWrite-Op --requirements_file requirements.txt --runner DataflowRunner --project ing-dev --staging_location gs://my_bucket/staging --temp_location gs://my_bucket/temp --template_location gs://my_bucket/templates/test/df-pubsubRead-gcsWrite-Op
The requirements.txt file:
apache-beam[gcp]==2.27.0
I tried:
Use setup.py per this Dataflow fails when I add requirements.txt [Python] but the setup_file argument is discarded:
WARNING:apache_beam.options.pipeline_options:Discarding unparseable args: ['setup.py', 'True'] WARNING:apache_beam.options.pipeline_options:Discarding unparseable args: ['setup.py', 'True']
Not including the requirements file, which successfully create the template but the flow fails because apache-beam is not installed. In other words, specifying dependencies is a must for me. Unless there are other ways to install dependencies on Dataflow.
