Enabling New Python SDK Tool

Hello all,

I am currently attempting to create my own python SDK tool. To start, I took the following steps:
1) Copied C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\HtmlPlugins\PythonSDKExample directory to C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\HtmlPlugins\PythonFuzzyMatch

2) Edited the newly-copied PythonSDKExampleConfig.xml and set the Properties.MetaInfo.Name to PythonFuzzyMatch, and also modified the associated search tags.
3) I wanted to see if the changes I had made up to this point were okay, so I restarted my designer, searched for my new tool, and received no search results. I am able to find the python SDK example tool, but not my own tool.

Is there a step that I am missing?

Yes, I think you are missing a step. The Config.xml filename must exactly match the folder name for your plugin. For example: PythonFuzzyMatch\PythonFuzzyMatchConfig.xml.
