getKeys() from a ConfigurationSection does not works.

Hi!

I'm trying to acces to all keys from a configuration section, with that:
plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("---").getKeys(false);
Problem: There is no error, but my plugin doesnt found any key! If id do:
getConfig().getKeys(false);, he give me all the keys correctly - but how can i access too the keys from "---"?

Does "---"exist in your config? (I disrecommend using it though)

 

Yes. And it's not "---" (And in the real config its not this^^)
What i tryed:

Code:

System.out.println("Started");
for(String s: plugin.getConfig().getKeys(false);){System.ou.println(s);}

Output:
Started
key1
key2
---
etc

And with this:

Code:

System.out.println("Started");
for(String s: plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("---").getKeys(false);){System.out.println(s);}

Output:
Started



But - why?

In my config its so:

Code:

otherkeys: blabla
otherkeys: blabla
---:
  underkey: blabla
  underkey: blabla

 

IF im not mistaking, getConfigurationSection doesnt do that, but does this:

Code:

key1:
  nr1:
  nr2:

So plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("key1").getKeys(false); would return with nr1 and nr2.
Could be wrong though

 

it's what i would. But its doesn't works - its return nothing..

 

I know that I use config section, here is an implementation I used:

Code:

Set<String> messageKeys = this.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("Messages").getKeys(false);
ArrayList<String> messageValues = new ArrayList<String>();
for(String messageKey : messageKeys) {
    messageValues.add(this.getConfig().get("Messages."+messageKey));
}

 

I've make a thing like that, but doesnÄt works.. Here the real code:

Code:

System.out.println("Start");
for(String s: plugin.getConfig().getConfigurationSection("SchematicSpawning").getKeys(false)){
schematics.add(s);
System.out.println(s);
}

Config:

Code:

SchematicSpawning:
  castle:
    Testing: test

Output is just "Start"..

 

I'm having the exact same problem. It's been doing this since 1.4.2. It seems to only find the top level keys.

I think I've solved it. You need to save the config file to disk before the getKeys method will work as expected. I was just working off the default one because it was easier during development.

saveDefaultConfig();
