Development Assistance Code not firing?

Without revealing too much about my current project (want to keep it private for some reason), I am trying to test if an item's lore contains stuff, and if it does, then some things would happen. I am not receiving any errors in console, just nothing's happening. I am testing some more things before this, and that code is working correctly, so I assume I am testing lore incorrectly in some way. Any help is appreciated.

Code:

if(item.getItemMeta().hasLore() && p.isSneaking()) {
    if(item.getItemMeta().getLore().contains("-snip-")) {

 

@BizarrePlatinum And we can help you with your code without seeing your code how exactly?

 

tons of people mess up in the same spot, please post just the next line of your code

 

@nverdier I see no reason for any more, this is the only line that isnt working (am testing a bunch of different itemstacks in one "big" if). I suppose I will post more code however, in case my logic to why it isn't needed is incorrect (not trying to be a smart ass).

Code:

public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
    if(e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) || e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) {
            if(item != null) {
            [...]
            
                if(item.getType().equals(Material.STICK)) {
                    if(item.getItemMeta().hasLore() && p.isSneaking()) {
                        if(item.getItemMeta().getLore().contains("-snip-")) {
                            -Doing stuff here-
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
      }
}

 

@BizarrePlatinum For some reason I didn't see the code in the OP, probably assumed it was your signature and didn't read it But just log debug messages to see where the code gets to, as @timtower said.

 

Is the event even firing? Have you registered your events? Does that method have @EventHandler?
