Solved Config file not generating/copying defaults (Repost b/c the Admin didn't read the post b4 closing)

Hello all,

I've been working on a plugin which needs to have to the ability to configure some stuff. I keep running into the same problem:

Console:

Code:

Jar layout:


BungeeCompass.jar (Main file)

Code:

package com.mifexnetwork.bungeecompass;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import net.md_5.bungee.api.ChatColor;

public class BungeeCompass extends JavaPlugin {
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        loadConfiguration();
        // Register EventListener class with bukkit
        Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventListener(this), this);
        getLogger().info("BungeeCompass has been enabled!");
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        getLogger().info("BungeeCompass has been disabled! :( ");
    }
   
    // Commands
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] args) {
        if (command.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("menu")) {
            if (sender instanceof Player) {
                Player player = (Player) sender;
                Menu menu = new Menu(player, /*this.getConfig().getInt("inventory-size")*/ 27, /*this.getConfig().getString("inventory-name")*/ "Navigation");
            } else {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Only players can use that command!");
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
   
    public void loadConfiguration() {
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
    }
}

Config.yml:

Code:

# Hah...jokes. Config doesn't work at the moment

# Inventory Size (number of rows, max. 6)
inventory-size: 3

# Inventory Name (What will be seen at the top of the window)
inventory-name: Navigation

# Items
row1:
  -
  -
  -
  -
  - IRON_FENCE

I realize that the plugin isn't taking values from the config, but that's on purpose for the moment

NOTICE: DESPITE WHAT THE PLUGIN FILE NAME IS, IT IS NOT A BUNGEECORD PLUGIN. I'VE READ THE TERMS

 

@reesercollins
The issue is that the plugin could not find the config.yml in the jar. Are you sure the files are being exported correctly? Are you sure the the file is in the exported jar?

Also, what is the purpose of your plugin? Why would you specifically include the term "Bungee" if it does not have anything to do with bungeecord?

 

Code:

File file = new File("plugins" + File.separator + "[Folder Name]" + File.separator + "config" + File.separator  + ".yml");
        FileConfiguration conf = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);

if(!file.exists()){
            try {
                file.createNewFile();
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "creating file ");
            }  
conf.set("[Variable]", variable);
try {
         conf.save(file);
       } catch (IOException e) {
         Bukkit.getConsoleSender().sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Error");
       }

This is how I save my data files. You use the same "file" to grab info from it as well
You're error is occurring because it can't find your config.yml in your jar
