Solved Plugin does not recognize values from config unless I reload it.

Hello,

As the title says, I'm trying to access values form the config, but even after a restart, some values are not recognized (or they appear as uninitialized) unless I run my config's reload command. My main class looks like this:

Code:

    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        plugin = this;
        loadConfig();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        saveConfig();
    }

    public void loadConfig() {
        this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults();
        saveDefaultConfig();
    }

Any insight on why this might be the case would be greatly appreciated.

 

saveDefaultConfig must be run first in onEnable. Your config won't exist until after you execute saveDefaultConfig.

 

I tried running saveDefaultConfig() before anything else in my onEnable() method, but it still has issues with getting data from the config until I reload it with a separate command.

 

How do you read the config then?

 

I have a class titled "Config" with accessors. Here it is:

Code:

public class Config {

    public static HashMap<String, String> giveaways = new HashMap<>();

    public String getPrefix() {
        String prefix = Giveaways.plugin.getConfig().getString("prefix");
        return ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', prefix);
    }

    public void loadGiveaways() {
        for (String type : Giveaways.plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("types").getKeys(false)) {
            giveaways.put(type, Giveaways.plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("types").getString(type + ".exec"));
        }
    }

    public String getGiveaway(String s) {
        return giveaways.get(s);
    }


}
