I forgot to add the filename to the end of CreateAsset and it just executes without throwing an error but also without creating a file.
Hard to debug this way.

If you want to create text or script files with a template, you can use undocumented internal UnityEditor.CreateScriptAsset("Assets/YourTemplatesScript.cs.txt", "DefaultNewScriptName.cs"); via reflection...

private static MethodInfo createScriptMethod = typeof(ProjectWindowUtil)  
    .GetMethod("CreateScriptAsset", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);  
  
static void CreateScriptAsset(string templatePath, string destName) {  
    createScriptMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { templatePath, destName });  
}
