Hello Forum,

 

I am trying to access different file's variables with the developer console in Figma's macOS app but I keep getting the following error.

 

const [collection] = await figma.variables.getLocalVariableCollectionsAsync();
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'variables')
    at <anonymous>:1:34
(anonymous) @ VM421:1


const localCollections = await figma.variables.getLocalVariableCollectionsAsync();
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'variables')
    at <anonymous>:1:38
(anonymous) @ VM425:1


const localVariables = await figma.variables.getLocalVariablesAsync();

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'variables')
    at <anonymous>:1:36

(anonymous) @ VM431:1

 

Thank you for sharing any help and your time.
