kiplot Can't generate the gerber project file

Hi,

I've been using kiplot for a couple of days now, thanks for your effort!

I've been trying to generate the gerber job file with my plots, but it seems that Kicad it's ignoring the value of the create_gerber_job_file setting. I've seen an issue on kicad.info from 2018, but it was left unanswered and would like to ask if you could generate job files and it's me the one doing something wrong, or if it's a kicad issue (check this https://forum.kicad.info/t/scripting-generate-gerber-job-file/11607).

Cheers!

Hi @joel-felcana

Gerber job files are generated using a complementary mechanism. Isn't as easy as a flag. My fork: https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/kiplot implements it.

That's interesting, thanks! I'm not working with KiCad that much this days so it will take me a while to check your fork, but thanks for sharing it. I didn't mean to imply that it was as easy as setting a fly, but the documentation has such flag, so I assumed that either it was implemented and It wasn't working for me, or there was a bug on the process. I searched a bit back in the day, when I posted it, and somebody (link attached) seemed to have issues with the KiCad API, so I wanted to know if @johnbeard had managed to do it before.
