Using config.getStringLIst()

Hey
How can I use getStringList()?

Code:java

config = getConfiguration();
List<String> flags = new ArrayList<String>();
 
flags.add("use");
flags.add("pvp");
flags.add("leaf-decay");
flags.add("tnt");
 
flags = config.getStringList("Flags", flags);
config.save()

This is my code. It doesn't create something in config.yml. What's wrong here?

 

also add a setproperty part.

Code:

config.setProperty("Flags", flags);

Right before the save() call.

Btw: fastest reply ever?

 

None of the *List() methods actually write the provided default values to the configuration.

Instead, you need to use config.setProperty("node.path", someList); config.save(); to write your defaults.

 

I assume that using setProperty would overwrite the existing list. How can I check if the list does already exist in the config? =)

 

You can try using this:

Code:

List<String> flags = config.getStringList("flags", null);
if (flags == null) {
    //not read
} else {
    //read
}
