the documentation in [1] should work, but probably you should try it without the ruby_block so it runs at compile time:

Aha - thanks for this. Yes, that works perfectly. I couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Everything begins to make more sense now - the example in the documentation is in a ruby_block so

mistakenly thought it was required for the node.from_file(...) to work.

Thanks again,
