Can I see any example of a ruby formatted role?  Not sure what the file name is or where the file should be?

chef-solo is capable of using ruby formatted roles directly, so you can just package those up and ship them to your nodes without converting to json.

Also, berkshelf can package your cookbooks for chef-solo using the `berks package` command, see the "PACKAGING COOKBOOKS” section of http://berkshelf.com
