I am trying to create a basic custom QGIS plugin - all it will do is load a dataset from a list into the current project.
I keep getting the above error and can't figure out what's causing it.
I can't find (the probably small error in the code). The zip with the plugin is here
The detailed error is below
Couldn't load plugin 'add_layer' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

UPDATE: Once I fix the issue with the ( as per the answer below. I get a new error.
