Overriding stylesdir value in per-file attributes

Hello -- I'm trying to apply a custom CSS file to a set of docs with a couple of subdirectories. I'm using the Asciidoctor Gradle Plugin (v1.5.7) plugin to do the batch conversion.

I set the following in build.gradle:

attributes
'stylesheet'        : 'custom.css',
'stylesdir'           : './css'

This works great for all docs in the root directory, but all docs in subdirectories throw a "stylesheet does not exist or cannot be read" during the build process.

So, I tried overriding the build.gradle setting in each subdirectory doc with something like the following:

:stylesdir: ../css
OR
:stylesdir: ../../css

...depending on how nested the doc file is.

But these per-file values are ignored!

They only seem to be acknowledged when there is no value specified in build.gradle, i.e., the only way I can get these styles applied to all docs is to not specify stylesdir in build.gradle and instead specify it in every single doc file.

I really don't like doing that, both because it's a little sloppy and because these docs are for an open-source project which anyone can contribute to, and we'd really rather not have per-file dependencies/quirks like this.

Any idea what I can try to avoid this? I've tried getting rid of the css/ directory (putting the css file in the root directory), setting the stylesdir as an option instead of an attribute, setting the stylesheet and stylesdir together in subdirectory docs, and a bunch of other things...nothing works.

Per-doc settings are always ignored when they're set in build.gradle—both for docs in the root directory AND docs in subdirectories

Any ideas what could be happening?
