I try to create a custom Python WPS in my GeoServer instance.
I follow this guidance : https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/scripting/py/index.html#wps
but GeoServer doesn't see my new WPS.
Steps :
- fresh intance of GeoServer 2.18.3 with tomcat
- create
scripts/wpsdirectory in my GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR - create file
GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/scripts/wps/buffer.py - Copy/Paste the example code in the previous link
- Restart GeoServer
- Run a GetCap' on WPS service
- Cannot find my buffer service.
Have I forgotten a step for doing this like adding a extension ?
I try do to the same with a java wps script (https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/programming-guide/wps-services/implementing.html) and this work.
But if I can, I prefer to make my WPS in Python code.

The script extension has been retired from GeoServer, as it did not have a maintainer any longer.
See: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-9871
We just need a new maintainer to show up and dust off the old code, then it can be added back to GeoServer.
