The red squiggly line appears when trying to access a global variable defined in a separate file:

Create a robot file test_a.robot with the following content:

*** Test Cases ***
    Set Global Variable    ${thisISGlobal}    globar var test

Attempt to refer to the global variable from another robot file test_b.robot

*** Test Cases ***
    Log    ${thisISGlobal}

I see this same thing. I import a variables file but it does not take it into account.

VAR_FROM_VARIABLES_FILE is defined in ../variables.py which it correctly sees as a valid import.

@red8888 % variables are loaded as environment variables, not global variables (so, in your example it should really fail).
