[Tex/LaTex] Unable to print glossary

glossariestexmaker

I'm using a rather complex template of our university and I'd like to use and print the glossary as well.

Now I've created an extra file to manage the glossary entries (tex/0_1_glossary.tex) and to test it I just used one of the two sample entries.

Glossary related settings I have in my document:

\usepackage[toc,xindy]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\loadglsentries{tex/0_1_glossary.tex}

\begin{document}

\input{tex/0_1_glossary.tex}
\input{tex/1_introduction}

\setglossarystyle{long}
\printglossaries
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Glossary}

\end{document}

The tex/0_1_glossary.tex

\newglossaryentry{sample}
{
    name={sample},
    description={This is the description for the sample entry in the glossary.}
}

\newglossaryentry{unused}
{
    name={unused},
    description={This is the description for the unused sample entry in the glossary.}
}

In the tex/1_introduction:

Here's a \gls{sample} glossary entry.

The glossary is mentioned in the Contents but nothing is printed. How do I print the glossary just before the Contents?

If relevant I'm using Texmaker 4.3.

edit:

I've tried to follow this answer and feel like I should be doing everything right. The glossary is listed in the table of contents but my sample description and a link to where it's used is never printed in the pdf.

Sometimes a comment is just not enough.

General advice: Start with a simpified version. Test it, does it work? Nice. Implement it in the template of your university..

Save the following example under the name apocGlossariesTestFile.tex 

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[toc,xindy]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{sample}
{
    name={sample},
    description={This is the description for the
    sample entry in the glossary.}
}

\newglossaryentry{unused}
{
    name={unused},
    description={This is the description for
        the unused sample entry in the
    glossary.}
}

\setglossarystyle{long}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\rule{.6\textwidth}{.4pt}\par
Here's a \gls{sample} glossary entry.
\printglossaries

\end{document}

Now run latexmk apocGlossariesTestFile
makeglossaries apocGlossariesTestFile
and latexmk -pdf apocGlossariesTestFile.
