Help setting up a mod published directly from github

[LordGolias]

Hi, I am trying to setup a mod to be deployed from github:

• source code, including CI/CD: https://github.com/arma3-mods/test
• mod link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3295474044

I believe that I have done everything right, but can't make it to work from steam. The exact instructions I used for the initial setup is described in the README.

What I observe:

1. running hemtt launch correctly runs with the mod (e.g. function visible in function viewer)
2. when subscribed in steam, the mod is correctly reflected in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\3295474044 (see screenshot below)
3. The mod is not present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop
4. when I run Arma 3, the mod does not show up in the launcher.
5. In the launcher, when I press add local mod and select the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\3295474044, it is correctly loaded (see screenshot), and when I then run Arma 3 with it, it works.

In other words, it seems that I miss something between "published to Steam workshop" and "Arma 3 correctly links it to !Workshop directory". The only difference I see compared to other mods in the steamapps\workshop\content is that it does not have a meta.cpp, but I have seen other mods without it.

Any ideas of what this may be?
