SwiftCSV error finding .csv file

Project File Screenshot

I am experimenting with SwiftCSV to get data from a file, and so far I am having no luck. It seems like a very simple error that I cannot seem to fix - I am guessing it cannot find the file somehow. I have a "trainers.csv" file in the project (shown in screenshot) but every time I run this the code goes straight to the catch print statement - so there is something wrong in my try line.

func testCSV(){
    print("I got here")
    do {
        let csv = try CSV(name: "trainers.csv")
        print("Success?")

        //print(csv.rows)
    } catch {
        print("it was in this moment Adrian knew, he messed up.")
    }


}

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Their readme doesn't explain it very well, but looking into the CSV class the constructor you are using takes in a URL as a parameter (in other words a full path). Then is uses that passed in path in String(contentsOfURL: url). So you need to get the full path to the file you are trying to load.

let csv = try CSV(name: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("trainers", ofType: "csv"))
