Anki Deck cannot import

When creating the deck, upon import, Anki says the notes have been added yet I cannot find them anywhere. Here's the code:

from openpyxl import load_workbook
import genanki
import random

"""
1. be able to generate a random number that's really big without repitions
2. setup note type
3. setup the model
4. make a deck to fill
5. figure out note types

"""
beg = 1000000000
end = 9999999999
id_list = []
for i in range(0, 5000):
    randomNum = random.randint(beg,end)
    while randomNum in id_list:
        randomNum = random.randint(beg, end)
    id_list.append(randomNum)

model = genanki.Model(
  id_list[-1],
  'Simple Model',
  fields=[
    {'name': 'Meaning'},
    {'name': 'Arabic Spelling'},
    {'name': 'Phonetic Spelling'},
    {'name': 'Audio'},
  ],
  templates=[
      {
        'name': 'Only Card',
          'qfmt': 'How do you say:<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 40px; padding: 20px;">{{Arabic Spelling}}</div>',
          'afmt': '{{FrontSide}}<hr id=answer><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20px; padding: 20px;">{{Meaning}}</div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20px; padding: 20px;"><em>{{Phonetic Spelling}}</em></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20px; padding: 20px;">{{Audio}}</div>',
      },
  ])
del id_list[-1]

my_deck = genanki.Deck(
  id_list[-1],
  'test')
del id_list[-1]

wb = load_workbook("all_words.xlsx")
sheet = wb.get_sheet_by_name('ALL WORDS')
englishWordList = []

for col_cells in sheet.iter_cols(min_row=2, min_col=1, max_col=1):
    for cell in col_cells:
        englishWordList.append(cell.value)

i = 0
for word in englishWordList:
    note = genanki.Note(
        sort_field=id_list[i],
        model=model,
        fields=[word, "", "", ""]
    )
    my_deck.add_note(note)
    i = i + 1
i = 0

genanki.Package(my_deck).write_to_file("testOutput.apkg")

Anki adds all the notes (which have no cards made) yet I can't find them inside Anki. I thought maybe it's because of my add-ons, yet from the readme file it's unclear how to use the .write_to_collection_from_addon() method. I don't know how to use the method.

When I close and reopen Anki, it says there is a problem with the database and tells me to "Check Database". Once I do this, it deletes all the notes that were added from my script. What's the best way to use the method, and/or what is the solution to this issue? I've tried looking everywhere. Screen Shot 2019-09-03 at 5 13 39 PM Screen Shot 2019-09-03 at 5 14 20 PM
