Error passing variable to artillery script

Question

I am using very simple command to test artillery script and trying to pass variable from the command line. Command is

artillery run -v '{"var1": "value1", "var2": "value2"}' .\test\performance\applications.yml -e development

It is giving error

Variable definition is not valid JSON. Correct example: -v '{"var1": "value1", "var2": "value2"}'

I cannot see any difference in my command and the fricking error. Any help is appreciated.

Answer is found in one of the artillery forums. Inside quotes needs to be escaped. Their documentation is abysmal.
