Plugin Help Plugin not creating files

I've used a differnt method for YMAL configuration, but I'm going back to classic Bukkit FileConfiguration.

I get this error:

@BestMcPlayers The problem is that the files don't exist, when you try to load them. If you want an easy way to create a bunch of configs, you could use the Config class of EnviousAPI, link in signature.

 

I'll check it out, thanks. Do you have an example I can use?

 

@BestMcPlayers In the OP.

 

Thanks, but can anyone tell we what I was doing wrong? Fix up my code?

 

@BestMcPlayers

 

I like you're config class thing, but can you fix the code for me. I want to learn it using classic bukkit. Remember, I could just go back to my old method of configuration, but I want to use classic Bukkit.

How would I fix my code?

 

@BestMcPlayers I won't spoonfeed, but I will tell you this: Create the files before loading them.

 

I hate to bother you so much, but this is what I tried.

I get what you're saying in the post above, but now I'm getting different errors. Damnnit, I hate Bukkit.

 

@BestMcPlayers What's on line 61?

 

It's just a Java logger I made for my plugin. I tried removing it, and it still didn't work, so I don't think that's the issue.

Edit: It's creating the files now, but I'm still getting an error.

Nothing, I don't think so. Just skipped a line.

@BestMcPlayers Ok, what's on line 35? Also, please read this http://bukkit.org/threads/how-to-re...ubleshoot-your-own-plugins-by-yourself.32457/

 

Fixed it. I don't know why but this was causing my issue. Removed it and it worked. I can't tell you why.
@nverdier Thank you for being the only one who helped.

What caused the error (open) What caused the error (close)

Code:

        PluginDescriptionFile pdf = plugin.getDescription();
        log.log(Level.INFO, "Enabled, running version {0}!", pdf.getVersion());

@BestMcPlayers Probably 'plugin' or 'log' was null. But you don't need to log enable/disable messages! Bukkit already does this for you

But no problem Always happy to help.
