Doesn't update $DARKMODE when appearance is changed with Shortcuts

[gregorias]

TL;DR

If I change appearance using a shortcut defined in Shortcuts, the DARKMODE variable doesn't update.

To reproduce, set the shortcut like so:

Try running the app and displaying the $DARKMODE variable.

Expected behavior

$DARKMODE variable is updated accordingly.

Observed behavior

$DARKMODE variable is retains its previous value and ignores system changes.

Terraform Configuration

Terraform Version

Works for me if I use AppleScript. So this could be a workaround for you if you have your shortcut trigger an AppleScript:

tell application "System Events"
    tell appearance preferences 
        set dark mode to not dark mode 
        if dark mode then
            set mode to "dark"
        else
            set mode to "light"
        end if
    end tell
end tell
