Config - The system cannot find the path specified

So I'm trying to create a yaml for every player, but I get the error, "The system cannot find the path specified". I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Here's my code:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) throws IOException
    {   
        File file = new File(this.getDataFolder() + File.separator + "users" + File.separator + e.getPlayer().getName() + ".yml");
        FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
 
        if(!file.exists())
        {
            file.createNewFile();
        }
    }
 

 

EgyptianKing Load the config after you create the file, you can't load the config of a file that doesn't exist.
Edit: You should be using UUIDs as well, names will soon be no longer unique and not a valid way of persisting data for Players.

Alright, I changed it to:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent e) throws IOException
    {   
        File file = new File(this.getDataFolder() + File.separator + "users" + File.separator + e.getPlayer().getName() + ".yml");
 
        if(!file.exists())
        {
            file.createNewFile();
            FileConfiguration config = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
        }
    }

But I still get the same error.

 

EgyptianKing Post the stacktrace.

EgyptianKing getDataFolder() may not have been made yet, create it if it doesn't.

Alright, I fixed my problem.

So I'll explain it for the people who want a solution:

First I had to make the users folder on enable. Afterwards I'd create each yaml in the join event.
