The input plugin I developed cannot be found through the input-list after make all

Please direct all support questsions to slack or the forums. Thank you.

The following is the copied demo

This is the directory structure in the plugins/inputs/alice

README.md
sample.conf
alice.go

cat alice.go

//go:generate ../../../tools/readme_config_includer/generator
package alice

import (
    _ "embed"

    "github.com/influxdata/telegraf"
    "github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/inputs"
)

//go:embed sample.conf
var sampleConfig string

type Simple struct {
    Ok  bool            `toml:"ok"`
    Log telegraf.Logger `toml:"-"`
}

func (*Simple) SampleConfig() string {
    return sampleConfig
}

// Init is for setup, and validating config.
func (s *Simple) Init() error {
    return nil
}

func (s *Simple) Gather(acc telegraf.Accumulator) error {
    if s.Ok {
        acc.AddFields("state", map[string]interface{}{"value": "pretty good"}, nil)
    } else {
        acc.AddFields("state", map[string]interface{}{"value": "not great"}, nil)
    }

    return nil
}

func init() {
    inputs.Add("simple", func() telegraf.Input { return &Simple{} })
}

cat sample.conf

[[inputs.alice]]
  ok = true

This is the directory structure in the plugins/inputs/all/

cat alice.go

//go:build !custom || inputs || inputs.alice

package all

import _ "github.com/influxdata/telegraf/plugins/inputs/alice" // register plugin

Why can't I find the plugin in the binary file after I execute make all

./telegraf --input-list | grep alice

i found the problem, inputs.Add name is plugin name

func init() {
    inputs.Add("simple", func() telegraf.Input { return &Simple{} })
}
