Why is my qbittorrent search plugin not supported?

I started to write a search plugin for qBitTorrent, to search through a torrent website.

I followed the instructions given in qbittorrent's wiki : https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/How-to-write-a-search-plugin

When I try to install it however, I get the error:

Couldn't install "zetorrents" search engine plugin. Plugin is not supported.

I already have a couple of search plugins that are working just fine

I went through these dated threads

and tried their solutions anyway ( clearing the qbittorrent nova3's cache mostly ) but had no luck

I believe my code is the issue but I cannot fathom why.

I come here to ask for help finishing this small project available on Github at https://github.com/alexandre-eliot/zetorrents_qbittorrent_search_plugin

I also tried testing my search plugin as in the wiki but did not get an output

If anyone has any clue on the reason of the matter, I would be very pleased to hear your comments

Let this be a lesson for all developers and myself included. Let this be a reminder that we should all seek humility upon our work and pride upon our failures.

The issue was simple, yet it seemed transparent for my eyes.

My class was named zeTorrents and the name of the file that hold it, is zetorrents.py.

The culprit of my headache was simple yet fearless : a capital letter.

As often it is when programming, the name of the file and the class that it holds should be named identically.

I had to change zeTorrents to zetorrents for qBitTorrent to accept my plugin
