Contexts not replacing colors when switching between them

[ghost]

Hi again 😬 . I´ve been trying switching between contexts. Tried in one of my Figma's projects, checking if prefix was right, it was. Copied Moana to my projects to double check this, but it doesn't work either.

Just tested and verified it is working. I'm pretty sure you duplicated a file here 😉

I guess what's the problem here is a missunderstanding of how figma allows plugins to work (I think that's the best way to formulate this). References are currently stored at a document. When this document is duplicated these references are lost. You can see this now for yourself. In the original document where references are available, open the "Stats" tab now in theemo, you see some numbers over there. When you duplicate this document then these numbers are gone, you will see 0 everywhere.
That is because figma is not copying over any plugin related data.

In order to compensate this (kinda) theemo offers an export and import mechanism. You will export all references to jsonbin and after duplicating the document, go to the new one, paste in the url from json bin hit import and your references are back. That is figma plugin API is relatively new and they make curious steps to enhance it, at most to keep those files safe (in terms of permissions).

The other cool stuff of using this export is that theemo can also consult this references and put your design tokens into code.

Now, finally Figma did it themselves with variables. Migration is part of #57

Closing here.
