Doc tests cannot find my new algorithm

Hi I am writing a new algorithm to load DNS PSD data.

I have an example in the docs which runs fine on my local computer, but the doc tests in the Unix build fails because it cannot find my algorithm.
I have no idea, why it cannot find the algorithm in the doc tests, I think I registered it with:

DECLARE_FILELOADER_ALGORITHM(LoadDNSEvent)

Any help is welcome.

Here is the failed test:

from mantid.simpleapi import *
# data file.
filename = "DNS_psd_pulser_ON473_31.mdat"
Failed example:
    eventWS = LoadDNSEvent(InputFile=filename, ChopperChannel='2')
    print("Number of events: {}".format(eventWS.getNumberEvents()))
    print("Maximum time of flight: {}".format(eventWS.getTofMax()))
    print("Number of detector pixels: {}".format(eventWS.getNumberHistograms()))
    print("Number of bins: {}".format(eventWS.blocksize()))
    # rebin spectra:
    test2 = Rebin(InputWorkspace='eventWS', Params='0, 100, {0}'.format(eventWS.getTofMax()))
    print("Number of bins after rebinning: {}".format(eventWS.blocksize()))

Here is the cpp file:

I think its because you have not included the files in the CMake definitions (e.g. https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/blob/ec91046cf05ec20da8fee1904b932df13199b8ae/Framework/DataHandling/CMakeLists.txt )

Oh you are smart, I would never have found that.
I forgot to copy that file.
Thanks a lot.
