 Databases property specifies the name of the databases that should exist in CouchDB. If the database does not exist, then it will be created.
 
 Documents property specifies a mapping between the database and the documents that should exist in that database. If the document does not exist, then it will be created. If it already exists, then it will be updated.
-The document value can either be an object, or a file path string containing the JSON document.
+The document value can be:
+* an object
+* a file path string containing a JSON document, file name must end with .json
+* a module path string, path must be relative to current directory if it's used from command-line, or relative to setUp() moduleDir if it's used programmatically
