Files

I have been working for files for the longest time now, and this extremely weird bug has come up.

1. I copy the file from jar into the "Plugin Folder"
2. I load my FileConfiguration with YamlConfiguration
3. I check if anything is in it, It says there's nothing in it by using this.config.getSection("")
4. I checked the file (The entire configuration is there.
5. I set a value with set("Test", "test");
6. I go back and check and the entire file was erased except the Test:test
7. I check if anything is in it, It says the only value now is what I have set.

I have no idea what is going on at all.

My YamlDatabase: http://pastebin.com/EmH8t87J
My Configuration: http://pastebin.com/5bBMNfPZ

Thanks in advance.

 

You may be overriding the current default values somehow.
When you set the value, what do you use to save it?

From what I understand you want to have a class manage on each new instance a new config file. I've got something similar.

Code:java

Gopaintman Hey dude all I did was remove these two methods and it's works fine.

But I don't get how it did because these methods were never called in the class or the instance of the class.

/*public void changeFile(String fileName) {
this.changeFile(fileName, this.plugin.getDataFolder().getPath());
}

public void changeFile(String fileName, String fileLocation) {
this.fileName = fileName;
this.fileLocation = fileLocation;
this.onStartUp();
}*/

 

So if you just remove them they work? Try adding them back, maybe you did something else and it fixed it.

 

It worked, Thank you. I must of did something to fix it.
