I wouldn't expect it to work unless you used $generatecode or the module
was included instead of used.

Subject: [OpenSCAD] Should it be possible to reference a variable inside a
module when the module is loaded by use?
Say I have a file with the lines:
use <pygcodepreview.scad>;
generategcode = true;
a = 300;
gcomment(str(a));
and pygcodepreview.scad is loaded from a library directory and contains:
module gcomment(comment) {
if (generategcode == true) {
echo("(",comment,")");
}
}
Should that work? If it should, why do I get the error:
Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/pygcodepreview.scad, line 4
WARNING: Ignoring unknown variable 'generategcode' in file
../Documents/OpenSCAD/libraries/pygcodepreview.scad, line 8
I thought I had used such constructs in the past?
Did something change? Or am I getting this wrong somehow?
(I'm using the nightly build:
https://files.openscad.org/snapshots/OpenSCAD-2023.09.10-x86-64-Installer.exe
)
