UnknownVariables doesn't return unknown variables defined in files

[ghost]

Running scons will print {} while running scons my_var="cli_value" will print {'my_var': 'cli_value'}

#custom.py
my_var="value"

import SCons
from SCons.Variables import *

env = Environment()

options = Variables(["custom.py"], ARGUMENTS)
options.Add("my_option", "", "")

options.Update(env)

print(options.UnknownVariables())

Does it already have separate issue for it?

There's no issue for this. Please file.

Looking at the code it's clear it's only checking command line arguments.

Yeah, I know I've also already looked 🙂 But you asked to be sure if there is no existing issues so I asked here firstly

[bdbaddog]

Actually I asked you to follow the process in the bug filing template...

Please bring your issue to the SCons users mailing list before filing an issue here

See: https://scons.org/bugs.html

or join our Discord server : https://discord.gg/bXVpWAy

Yeah but if nothing from the above can be really done there is "as close as possible" way should be used which is github discussions (which I saw are duplicated in discord...)

[bdbaddog]

I'm not sure "why nothing above can be done?" Can you explain?

[ghost]

I mean I can't (primary reason) and don't want really write in discord. I don't love mailing lists. But I can ask here...

This has been addressed now via #4653. I'm going to close this discussion as a result.
