Solved Config returning null

My code

code (open) code (close)

Code:

package ladeira.attributes;

import java.util.HashSet;

import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;

import ladeira.general.ServerHandler;

public class AttributesHandler {
   
    private static HashSet<Permission> permissions = new HashSet<Permission>();
   
    public static void loadAttributes() {
        loadPermissions();
    }
   
    public static Permission findPerm(int id) {
        for (Permission i: permissions) {
            if (i.getID() == id) {
                return i;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }
   
    private static void loadPermissions() {
        FileConfiguration config = ServerHandler.getAttrConfig();
       
        for (String key : config.getConfigurationSection("permissions").getKeys(false)) {
            ServerHandler.getPlugin().getLogger().severe(ServerHandler.getAttrConfig().getString(key + ".nameColor"));
            int id = config.getInt(key + ".id");
            ChatColor color = getChatColor(config.getString(key + ".nameColor"));
            ChatColor chatColor = getChatColor(config.getString(key + ".chatColor"));
           
            permissions.add(new Permission(id, key, "permissions." + key, color, chatColor));
        }
    }
   
    private static ChatColor getChatColor(String text) {
        ChatColor color = ChatColor.WHITE;
       
        switch (text) {
        case "aqua":
            color = ChatColor.AQUA;
            break;
        case "black":
            color = ChatColor.BLACK;
            break;
        case "blue":
            color = ChatColor.BLUE;
            break;
        case "dark_aqua":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_AQUA;
            break;
        case "dark_blue":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_BLUE;
            break;
        case "dark_gray":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_GRAY;
            break;
        case "dark_green":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_GREEN;
            break;
        case "dark_purple":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE;
            break;
        case "dark_red":
            color = ChatColor.DARK_RED;
            break;
        case "gold":
            color = ChatColor.GOLD;
            break;
        case "gray":
            color = ChatColor.GRAY;
            break;
        case "green":
            color = ChatColor.GREEN;
            break;
        case "light_purple":
            color = ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE;
            break;
        case "red":
            color = ChatColor.RED;
            break;
        case "white":
            color = ChatColor.WHITE;
            break;
        case "yellow":
            color = ChatColor.YELLOW;
            break;
        }
       
        return color;
    }
}

Basically, the problem is that the error is on the line that says switch (text) { says that it is a null pointer exceptoin, and the line ChatColor color = getChatColor(config.getString(key + ".nameColor")); has a null value, but why I am confused is because int id = config.getInt(key + ".id"); works.

pls help, i have been trying to fix this for 30min

 

@MrDaniel
1. config.getString(String) is returning null, does the config contain the path?
2. For your getChatColor(String) method, you can just do something like this:

Code:Java

private static ChatColor getChatColor(String text) {
    ChatColor color = null; // Or whatever you want it to return by default
    try {
        color = ChatColor.valueOf(text.toUpperCase());
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        return color;
    }
    return color;
}

 

@KarimAKL,

1. I double checked, the config exists, and the path is correct
2. OMG, yes, thank you, I knew there was a way!

EDIT: Ok, I did some debugging and I found out that the int id was also null, but it didn't point out an error, the only problem I have rn is getting the config then. For now Imma do some more debugging and try to find the problem myself, imma edit this if I have an answer or if I find something more

EDIT2: I found it out, FINNALY. The problem was that the id was at permissions.owner.id and I was looking at owner.id, that's why it was returning null
