I have to admit that this is strange for me. Though I have been using playgrounds for years, but I only write small pieces of code to test simple ideas, and I never used another source file.

Today I want to add a new struct in Sources folder. To my surprise, I am not able to reference the struct in the main playground file.

Sources/testlets.swift:

struct Dummy {
    var name: String
}

MyPlayground:

var box = Dummy(name: "abc")
// error: /.../MyPlayground.playground:22:11 Cannot find 'Dummy' in scope

Accepted Answer

You have to mark your struct Dummy and var name as public.

Playgrounds puts all files in the sources folder in its own ~~bundle~~ module

Correct.
