I usually am building documentation via gradle but today I installed the asciidoctorj CLI for converting one-off documents quickly.  However, I'm having trouble rendering a mermaid diagram.  I'm getting this:

PS C:\> asciidoctorj.bat -r asciidoctor-diagram .\mag-workitem.adoc
uri:classloader:/gems/asciidoctor-diagram-2.1.0/lib/asciidoctor-diagram/util/cli_generator.rb:53: warning: Tempfile#unlink or delete called on open file; ignoring

I do have a version of chromium installed, though apparently it's not at the requested version:

PS C:\> npm list chromium
C:\Users\MyPowerShell
`-- chromium@3.0.2

Any suggestions on either getting this CLI to work or another CLI option with which I can process mermaid diagrams?
