In order to find the hook files the file name must match exactly. Please see list below.
The example scripts can be found here:
https://github.com/das-element/resources/tree/main/scripts/hooks/examples

The software follows this order looking for Python Hook files.

1. directory defined in the $DASELEMENT_HOOKS environment variable

2. directory defined in the $DASELEMENT_RESOURCES/scripts/hooks environment variable

3. your local .das-element folder (for Linux: ~/.das-element/scripts/hooks or for Windows %homepath%/.das-element/scripts/hooks)

Troubleshooting

Logger inside python file

Since version 2.1.2 you can directly access the logger inside the hook files.

def main(*args, logger=none):
    items = args[0]

    # use the Das Element logger
    # will log to  ~/.das-element/logs/
    
    logger.warning('This is a warning!')
    
    return items

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(sys.argv[1:])

Print inside python file

To output data to the console when customizing the hook files use a print statement inside the main function. The input args will be a list of data.

...

Example for pre_load_ingest.py

import logging

def main(*args, logger=none):
    items = args[0]

    logger.warning('This is a warning!') # <- use the Das Element logger (~/.das-element/logs/)

    logging.warning('This is a warning!') # <- use the default logging module

    for item in items:
      print(item) # <- this print() will be output to the console
    return items

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(sys.argv[1:])
