I am new to the Module SDK and the development environment. I am using ItelliJ with Gradle. I have created the "new-sdk-project" example project in this environment following the instructions provided. Everything seems to be in place and when I perform a rebuild of the project is appears to complete successfully (no errors). However there doesn't appear to be a .modl file created from the build operation. What am I missing? ---

You'll have to share your project structure and build files. ---

What is the best mechanism for providing this to you? ---

Where's this example coming from? I can't even build what you provided. It seems to be a bit out of date. ---

It came from the Inductive site. [Tutorial - Simple Scripting Module | Ignition SDK Programmer's Guide](https://www.sdk-docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/simple-scripting/) ---

I don't know, somebody has good intentions with that documentation, but maybe stick to the examples: [GitHub - inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples: Ignition SDK Example Projects](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples) I'm curious how you're even able to build this like you claim. When I run `./gradlew` at the root I get this failure: ```python FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file '/home/kevin/Downloads/new-sdk-project/build.gradle.kts' line: 10 * What went wrong: Plugin [id: 'io.ia.sdk.modl', version: '0.4.0-SNAPSHOT'] was not found in any of the following sources: ``` ---

OK. Will do. This is where I started. [GitHub - inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools: Tools that help in the creation and development of Modules for Inductive Automation's Ignition.](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-module-tools) ---

I just ran through the docs page myself and didn't run into any issues, but I did notice the file structure differs dramatically from what you sent in. To Kevin's point, it seems like what you had there is a bit out of date. It might be worth starting with a new project directory and starting over with that tutorial.
