wordpress adding plugin for ajax

i am new to wordress. trying to test creating a plugin to combine my js and ajax for a module. I did the following:

[Not sure if i need to add anything in admin-ajax.php.]

1. created my new plugin under wp-content/pluging/test-plugin
2. created 2 files: test.php and test.js

3. test.php content as the following:

   /** * Plugin Name: Test */

   add_action("wp_ajax_my_test", "my_test");
   
   add_action("wp_ajax_nopriv_my_test", "my_test");
   
   function my_test()
   {
   echo "in ajax";
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'test_script_enqueuer' );
   
   
   function test_script_enqueuer() {
   
       wp_register_script( "test", WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/my_plugin/test.js', array('jquery') );
       wp_localize_script( 'test', 'myAjax', array( 'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )));
   
       wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
       wp_enqueue_script( 'test');
   }
   
   

4. test.js code as the following:

   $(document).ready(function() {
   console.log('in js!'); jQuery.ajax( { type: 'POST', url: myAjax.ajaxurl, data: {
   action: 'my_test' }, dataType: 'json', cache: false, success: function(response) { alert(response); }, error: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert('error'); } }); });

Note that I can't even see the "in js!" message in my console.
