Addon stopped loading on srds after last update

[neosloth]

Hello
I've been having this problem since the latest update and I am not sure if I messed something up or it is a bug with the new update.
Basically, my addon's init file in lua/autorun stopped loading on a dedicated server while still working fine on a listen server.

The file structure is:
lua/server.lua
lua/client.lua
lua/autorun/init.lua

The init.lua file contains this

print("Initializing the addon") --Never even gets here
if SERVER then
    include("server.lua")
    AddCSLuaFile("client.lua")
else
    include("client.lua")
end

Am I doing anything wrong? No matter what I do it just refuses to load on a srds

Check your addon has an 'addon.txt' or whatever in the folder.
Also, cross-compare with similar addons to find differences.
I do this everyday :eng101:

Shouldn't be needed but there seems to be a couple of issues with it missing.

For example: [url]https://github.com/wiremod/wire/issues/264[/url]

Would be interesting to see if that fixes it.

Addon that works on the left, addon that doesnt on the right. Both lack addon.txt
It doesn't even get to print() (I tried removing it too, that's not the problem)

He's not talking about the lua but what I call the "index file".
Addons don't get magically get added to Garrysmod.
It searches and adds all folders that have "addon.txt" inside. Without any "indexfile", it won't run. :eng101:

Therefore add a textfile: "garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/<your addon>/addon.txt
Be sure it contains the following:

"AddonInfo"
{
	"name"			"Your awesome addon name"
	"version"		"0.6" 
	"author_name"	"superstepa"
	"author_url"		"your url"
	"info"			"This addon is awesome .. get it, before your friends."
}

I know what addon.txt is, it's just not needed anymore

But anyways after some testing it looks like the workshop was the issue, uploading the addon directly fixed it for me. I still have no idea why doesn't it work, everything else I uploaded on workshop works fine
