Config file overwritten each time plugin is loaded..

It's bizarre, this code is currently being used in 2 other plugins, yet in this plugin it over rides the existing config file...

If you prefer syntax highlighting then check it here: http://pastebin.com/4dc90ApL

Code:

File configFile = new File(this.getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
 
@Override
public void onDisable() {
}
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
if(!configFile.exists()) {
createConfiguration();
}
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
loadConfig();
}
 
public void createConfiguration() {
getConfig().options().header("SignLink - By DocRedstone");
String[] listOfStrings = {"10,10,10|http://minecraft.net", "100,100,100|http://bukkit.org"};
this.getConfig().set("SignsnLinks", Arrays.asList(listOfStrings));
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveConfig();
}
 
public void loadConfig() {
textplink = this.getConfig().getStringList("SignsnLinks");
}

Thoughts?

 

If you're going to use the built in configuration methods for Bukkit, you do not need to check if the file exists.
If you call the getConfig() method, and the file doesn't exist, it will make it for you.

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
    createConfiguration();
    //register events/other needed methods.
}
 
public void createConfiguration() {
    //add defaults here
    getConfig().options.copyDefaults(true);
    saveConfig();
}
 

 

Also your using set which will overwrite it every time, setDefault instead so that it will only write it if it is empty.

 

Thank you to both of you!
