SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0
Issue still present in this system too:
Linux: Kubuntu 19.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The cause of the issue is that the metadata.desktop file is never copied or
symlinked into ~/.local/share/kservices5/ path.
Manually making a symlink seems to work perfectly:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5
ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/something/metadata.desktop
~/.local/share/kservices5/kwin-script-something.desktop

directory..."
