Solved Creating new file

I have no idea whats going on here. Something is wrong but I cannot figure it out. I am trying to create a logs file, under /plugins/KitPVP/Logs/minilog-date.txt.
Here is my code:

PHP:

    private File logsDir = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "Logs");
 
    public void makeDirs() {
        if (!logsDir.exists()) {
            logsDir.mkdir();
        }
    }
 
    public void makeMiniLog() {
        if (!new File(logsDir + File.separator + "minilog-" + getDateAsString()
                + ".txt").exists()) {
            File todayFile = new File(logsDir + File.separator + "minilog-"
                    + getDateAsString() + ".txt");
            try {
                todayFile.createNewFile(); // Error
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

I get an error on todayFile.createNewFile() when trying to start up the server. This is the error:

Code:

What's going on?

 

Just to point this out:

Code:java

[16:19:57] [Server thread/WARN]: java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified

Looks like the path you gave it cannot be found.

 

Do you ever call makeDirs() before you try to create the file?

 

try adding debug output to your code.

in this case show name of file to be opened\created

 

krazytraynz Yes
HeadGam3z I make the dirs, and the dir IS there in the folder, when I call the method to make the actual file.

 

File todayFile = new File(logsDir + File.separator + "minilog-"+ getDateAsString() + ".txt");

logsDir is not a String object, yet you are trying to treat it as such. Use the two arg File constructor that you used before with the parent directory as the first argument, then the String relative path as the second. HeyAwesomePeople

 

I just realized that the date format contains "/", which would make it look for a random directory...
Thanks guys
