Solved ConfigurationSection cannot be read if there's a stringlist before it?

ConfigurationSection will always be null even if it DOES exist but can't be read.

Here's my NPE:

Code:

ConfigurationSection actions = ccommand.getConfigurationSection(value);
                        for (String action : actions.getKeys(false)) {

ccommand's path is "Commands.SaveMe", and value equals "Run".

Config:

Code:

Commands:
  SaveMe:
    Enabled: true
    Permission: none
    Cost: 0
    Output:
    - You were teleported to safety, %PLAYER%.
    Run:
      Teleport: world;0;0;0
      Health: 20
      Hunger: 20

But here's the weird thing... If I remove "Output: blablablabla", it works just fine...

It does work now... I think YAML was just being weird as always. -.-

@XXLuigiMario Why do you use a list if it's just one string?

 

That's just an example... what If people wanna have multiple lines?

 

@XXLuigiMario Why would one wish to take up multiple lines to tell a player why they've been teleported?
Anyway, I believe it may be an indentation issue. Add two spaces before the -.

 

@XXLuigiMario If they wanted multiple lines you could add in support for it to seperate the line when they use for example \n. That way it is not a list where there could be spacing issue.

 

Also... It's not just being teleported it can do other things.
I don't think so, as the config was created automatically adding defaults from inside code.

I don't know, I think i'll leave it like that, so It's easier to read.

 

String path = "Commands.SaveM.Run";
for (String s : config.getconfigurationsection(path).getkeys(false)
s will be teleport, health and hunger
so a config.getstring(path+"."+s) will get all the values

 

@XXLuigiMario It may be easier to read but may in the end cause more issues as a lot of users don't understand YAML formatting.

 

It's not an identation issue, YAML will still parse it perfectly fine

 

It wasn't YAML's fault I found out that while I was copy-pasting some code from another class into a switch I accidentally replaced the "break;" statement in one of the cases, so it was falling through, so value had "Output" as it's value, and given that "Output" is not a configuration section, it was giving a NullPointerException, but eclipse didn't warn me about it missing the break statement, because by default it ignores it :/

Also, how do I set this thread to solved (I can't see the edit button :/), I fixed the problem this morning, but people are still commenting. Edit: Nvm, now it's under Thread Tools.
