ValueError: cannot decompress LZW

[ashnair1]

I tried to open a 1.8 GB tiff file using tifffile's imread function but I'm getting this error : ValueError: cannot decompress LZW.

tifffile version: 2019.2.22

Here's the traceback:

  img = tiff.imread(self.imgPath)
 File "/home/ashwin/miniconda3/envs/dlenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tifffile/tifffile.py", line 687, in imread
   return tif.asarray(**kwargs)
 File "/home/ashwin/miniconda3/envs/dlenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tifffile/tifffile.py", line 2235, in asarray
   maxworkers=maxworkers)
 File "/home/ashwin/miniconda3/envs/dlenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tifffile/tifffile.py", line 3983, in asarray
   'cannot decompress %s' % self.compression.name)
ValueError: cannot decompress LZW

Edit: Tried with latest version, still doesn't work
