Solved Config doesn't save list, just saves "*id001"

So i have this code

Code:

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Menlo; color: #3f7f5f} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Menlo} p.p3 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Menlo; color: #2a00ff} p.p4 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Menlo; min-height: 14.0px} span.s1 {color: #6a3e3e} span.s2 {color: #7f0055} span.s3 {color: #000000} span.Apple-tab-span {white-space:pre}

// Permissions

List<String> permissions = new ArrayList<String>();

permissions.add("bukkit.command.plugins");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.default.id", 0);

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.default.nameColor", "white");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.default.chatColor", "gray");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.default.permissions", permissions);


permissions.add("minecraft.command.kick");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.trusted.id", 1);

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.trusted.nameColor", "blue");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.trusted.chatColor", "white");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.trusted.permissions", permissions);


permissions.add("minecraft.command.difficulty");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.mod.id",2);

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.mod.nameColor", "green");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.mod.chatColor", "white");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.mod.permissions", permissions);


permissions.add("minecraft.command.ban");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.admin.id", 3);

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.admin.nameColor", "red");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.admin.chatColor", "white");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.admin.permissions", permissions);


permissions.add("minecraft.command.deop");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.owner.id", 4);

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.owner.nameColor", "gold");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.owner.chatColor", "white");

attrConfig.addDefault("permissions.owner.permissions", permissions);

attrConfig.options().copyDefaults(true);


try {

msgConfig.save(ServerHandler.getMSGFile());

attrConfig.save(ServerHandler.getAttrFile());

} catch (IOException e) {

this.getLogger().severe("Got IOException when saving defaults on the configuration files");

}

but config looks like this

Code:

permissions:
  default:
    id: 0
    nameColor: white
    chatColor: gray
    permissions: &id001
    - bukkit.command.plugins
    - minecraft.command.kick
    - minecraft.command.difficulty
    - minecraft.command.ban
    - minecraft.command.deop
  trusted:
    id: 1
    nameColor: blue
    chatColor: white
    permissions: *id001
  mod:
    id: 2
    nameColor: green
    chatColor: white
    permissions: *id001
  admin:
    id: 3
    nameColor: red
    chatColor: white
    permissions: *id001
  owner:
    id: 4
    nameColor: gold
    chatColor: white
    permissions: *id001

anybody know why?
(ignore the admin, id and name color things, that works and is in other pieces of code)

 

The list needs to be a "new List<String>()" not an arraylist

 

@MrDaniel I found something that might help you solve this:

@KarimAKL, fixed it, thx

For anybody that also has this issue the thing you need to do is not use the same object for different fields cause YAML will just include a reference to that object.
