Agent plugin wont load

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I wrote a simple plugin that was meant only as a template, this was intended to scan audio.

class TestAgent(Agent.Album):
    name = 'Test Agent'
    languages = [
        Locale.Language.English,
    ]
    primary_provider = True
    fallback_agent = False
    accepts_from = None
    contributes_to = None
    
    def search(self, results, media, lang, manual):
        f = open('search', 'w')
        f.write('Self:' + '\n')
        f.write(str(self) + '\n\n\n')
        f.write('Results:' + '\n')
        f.write(str(results) + '\n\n\n')
        f.write('Media:' + '\n')
        f.write(str(media) + '\n\n\n')
        f.write('Lang:' + '\n')
        f.write(str(lang) + '\n\n\n')
        f.write('Manual:' + '\n')
        f.write(str(manual) + '\n\n\n')
        f.close()

    def update(self, metadata, media, lang, force):

I created the relevant files in the Plug-ins directory.

Info.plist:

DefaultPrefs.json:

[]

My directory structure:

├── TestAgent.bundle
│   └── Contents
│       ├── Code
│       │   └── __init__.py
│       ├── DefaultPrefs.json
│       └── Info.plist

When loading this agent however it never shows up under my agents list.

Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

EDIT:
After running for 5-10 minutes this error seems to show up in the log:

Timeout or error reading status line from plug-in pipe [com.plexapp.agents.testagent], we’re killing it.
