Gameplay Tags from custom plugin not loading

My issue has been solved by doing the following steps. For clarity purposes, I will keep naming the plugin MyPlugin. Replace every occurency of MyPlugin by your actual plugin name to make it work on your side.

  1. Adding “GameplayTags” to the PublicDependencyModuleNames in MyPlugin/Source/MyPlugin/MyPlugin.Build.cs :point_down:
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(
			new string[]
			{
				"Core",
				"GameplayTags"
				// ... add other public dependencies that you statically link with here ...
			}
			);
  1. Editing the FMyPluginModule::StartupModule() function in MyPlugin/Source/Myplugin/Private/Myplugin.cpp :point_down:
void FMyPluginModule::StartupModule()
{
	UGameplayTagsManager::Get().AddTagIniSearchPath(FPaths::ProjectPluginsDir() / TEXT("MyPlugin/Config/Tags"));
}
  1. Rebuilding the plugin from source on a clean empty project.

After doing these 3 steps and reimporting my plugin in my actual project, I got access to my plugin gameplay tags as desired :slight_smile:

Hope this helps anyone stumbling upon the same issue.
