Sinatra settings - variables nested in environment not working? (Sinatra::ConfigFile)

I have a modular Sinatra app using Sinatra::ConfigFile and have broken out my settings into a yaml file so I can modify paths/urls when in different environments.

As a basic example, I have:

development:
  url_root: 'http://127.0.0.1:9292'

production:
  url_root: 'http://domain.com'

However, settings.url_root does not work (undefined method 'url_root') unless I pull it out of the nested environment block. Checking my environment: p ENV['RACK_ENV'] returns development.

I am using Sinatra 1.4.5, sinatra-contrib 1.4.2

What am I doing wrong?

OK, well it turns out it was a misunderstanding of, what I believe, is a slightly confusingly worded documentation on the Sintara page which states:

But it also can provide specific environment configuration. There are two ways to do that: at the file level and at the setting level. They are illustrated, repsectively, as follows: 

development:
  foo: development
  bar: bar
test:
  foo: test
  bar: bar
production:
  foo: production
  bar: bar

and

 foo:
   development: development
   test: test
   production: production
   bar: bar

So, when using a settings yaml file with Sinatra, you want to define the variable name and then nest the environments within it (not the other way around), and the working format for my question above is:

url_root:
  development: 'http://127.0.0.1:9292'
  production: 'http://domain.com'
