How is the hook set up to create new database tables when an extension is registered in MediaWiki 1.25+?

The manual says


Possibly the Hooks section of extensions.json should be used...


What I tried

in MyExtension/extension.json

"Hooks": {
"LoadExtensionSchemaUpdate": [
"MyExtensionHooks::mySchemaUpdate"
]
}


in MyExtension/MyExtension.hooks.php

class MyExtensionHooks {
public static function mySchemaUpdate( DatabaseUpdater $updater ) {
$updater->addExtensionTable( 'newTable',
__DIR__ . '/table.sql' );
return true;
}
}


in MyExtension/table.sql

CREATE TABLE newTable (
newTableID int not null auto_increment,
primary key (newTableID)
);


I ran ../maintenance/update.php but no newTable was created.
