Solved plugin.yml is invalid and i can't figure out why

Hello,
As the title says, i made a plugin and i got stuck at the plugin.yml. It is very simple, but i am not often writing them, so i don't exactly know how it has to be structured. I copied the permission and command part from http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML
This is how it looks now

My plugin.yml (open) My plugin.yml (close)

Code:

name: Crates
main: plugin.Crates
version: 1.0

commands:
   crate:
     description: Prefix for all cratecommands
     usage: Use /crate command value
permissions:
   crate.*:
     description: Gives access to all crate commands
     children:
       crate.setview: true
       crate.setdrop: true
       crate.give: true
       crate.cmds: true
     default: false
   crate.setview:
     description: Allows you to change the view of a cratetype
     default: false
   crate.setdrop:
     description: Allows you to change the drop of a cratetype
     default: false
   crate.give:
     description: Allows you to give crates to players
     default: false
   crate.cmds:
     description: Shows all cratecommands to you
     default: false

I can't figure out why this wont work, pls help me

Thanks

 

Remove the blank line..

 

I'm not familiar with this way of doing the plugin.yml, And remove the blank line.

I use

Code:

name: myplugin
main: package.class
version: mypluginversion
commands:
mycommand:
description: My command's description
usage: /mycommand agruments
permission: myplugin.mycommand
permission-message: I usually leave this blank, I'm not sure where it's used. 

And it might be how you registered your command in the class, and the way you linked it to your main class.
If you did this and still does not work, Maybe show the classes if you don't mind.

I found the error -.-
like i said i did copy the part with commands and permissions and somehow this made one more space appear in every line. i just had to delete 1 space per line and it worked. for some reason it didn't show up in the snipped i posted, so you guys couldn't solve it, im sorry for that.

@_Error code is fine. Thanks for the help. The blank line was on purpose because it is nicer to read than without. I just left that there for me
@mine-care i fixed it and the blank line is still in the file, blank lines don't do anything. They are ignored by the Bukkitfilesystemstuff. I use them for readability

 

Okay

 

@Shmobi Ηmm thats odd, i remember having a strugle a few years ago and it was due to an empty line hmmmmmm my memory isntt hat good though. Cheers.

 

Maybe they fixed it idk. But it works fine for me, even with the blank line

 

@Shmobi hmm probably although i didnt notice any changes to the API's code...
Mabe i had the line in a StringList :3

 

@mine-care that would be a thing. if you got a blank line direclty inside an entry it could fuck your up, because the formatter which is encoding the text of the plugin.yml maybe thinks that you end an entry with a blank line. but anyways, this topic is solved, whe should stop posting here

 

Thats probably it!
