Adding strings to a stringlist in config.yml via commands

Code:java

        else if (args.length == 3 && args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("whitelist") && args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("add")) {
            Main.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("WorldGuard.RegionWhitelist").add(args[2]);
            sender.sendMessage("ok");
        }
 
        else if (args.length == 3 && args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("whitelist") && args[1].equalsIgnoreCase("remove")) {
            Main.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("WorldGuard.RegionWhitelist").remove(args[2]);
            sender.sendMessage("ok");
        }

I have a config.yml which is embedded in the plugin (maybe this could be the reason). The config has the StringList in path WorldGuard.RegionWhitelist. I want to add and remove strings to this list via commands in game. I get the "ok" message, no errors in the server.log, but it doesn't change anything in the config.yml.
/rcp whitelist add <region>

 

I believe the code does work, but can you give your config.yml?

 

Code:

# This is the maximum signal switches Redstone may experience before RSCP reacts
MaxSignalChanges: 1500
# Should notify them who have the permission rscp.getnotified about new found and blocked redstone clocks?
NotifyAdmins: false
# The clock will be stopped by replacing a redstone with a block which you can decide here
# It can be a SAPLING, WATER and even AIR, but if you want a written sign remember to write SIGN_POST
ClockBlocker: SIGN_POST
# This part is only relevant if ClockBlocker is set to SIGN_POST
Sign:
# A sign has four lines. Edit them here.
  Line1: 'Redstone-Clocks'
  Line2: 'are'
  Line3: '&4FORBIDDEN!'
  Line4: ''
# Here you can add worlds in which the plugin should check on redstone clocks and stop them
Worlds:
- world
- world_nether
- world_the_end
# These features only work if you have the plugin WorldGuard on your server!
WorldGuard:
# Redstone clocks in these regions will not get blocked by this plugin
  RegionWhitelist:
  - redstone
  - area

Err...argument length ==3? I beleive you should try using args.length == 2, because I beleive argument 0 starts out from 0, argument 1, 1, and argument 2, 2, args.length==2? I cant confirm this but it's worth a shot.

EDIT: If the above doesn't work, try reverting my suggestion and instead try calling the saveConfig method after you did the change, if that doesn't work either then I guess use my suggestio nand the saveConfigMethod?

 

no... not in this case. if you try calling the arguments, then you start counting up from 0, args[0], args[1], args[2]. But the length is 3

I have an embedded config.yml in my plugin.


So I tried .saveConfig() and .saveDefaultConfig() but they both do not work

Does the config even generate? Did you generate the config in your onEnable method?

 

onEnable:
saveDefaultConfig();
reloadConfig();

You could show me your onEnable method, and your method that generates the config file.

 

I'm currently not on pc, but the method looks like

public void onEnable() {
saveDefaultConfig():
reloadConfig();

register command
register event
}

Try checking if the file even exist first:

Code:

if (!new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml").exists()) {
              saveDefaultConfig();

 

1) Access Plugin instance properly
2)Save the config
3) Main.plugin.getConfig().getStringList("WorldGuard.RegionWhitelist").add(args[2]);
does nothing. Store the list , add it and then save it

 

If you say storing the list, you mean doing getConfig().set("WorldGuard.RegionWhitelist", stringlist)?

 

Yes
