Extra Folder Wont Generate

The extra folder that has the config won't generate even though it say it is. Here is my code:

Code:

package me.Bobfan.RPG;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class Start extends JavaPlugin {
 
    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = getDescription();
   
    public void onEnable() {
       
        File file1 = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "Permissions.yml");
        File file2 = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "QuestLocater.yml");
        if (!file2.exists()) {
            this.getLogger().info("Generating Your Quests...");
        }
    }
}

 

Because your not doing it right..

Code:

File FILENAME = new File(getDataFolder(), "FILENAME.EXTENTION");

So example to make a config..

Code:

File configFile = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
 
if (!configFile.exists()) {
configFile.getParentFile().mkdirs();
copy(getResource("config.yml"), configFile);
HcMain.log.info("[PluginName] 'config.yml' didn't exist. Created it.");
}

That will create a config.yml in the /plugins/yourpluginname

Alternatively you can replace

Code:

getDataFolder()

With the path to your file and it will make it anywhere you want within your server folder so for example you do

Code:

./Plugins/NewFolder

 

You could try to specify only the path and file name in the constructor instead of passing it a string, you could also test for the file as well.

Code:

File file1 = new File(getDataFolder(), "Permissions.yml");

With regards to the data folder, I test to see if it exists first and if not I then create it:

Code:

if(!this.getDataFolder().exists()){
    this.getDataFolder().mkdir();
    this.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, "Created Data Folder.");
}

 

Use .mkdirs() instead of .mkdir(), then it creates any folders necessary in the path
