    I have started to code a plugin where the player can input a name of a player they are voting for and it sends it to the config file but it comes up with an error. This is my code so far.

    Code:
    package me.ramsay.vote;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class Vote extends JavaPlugin {
   
    public void onEnable() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("Vote has been enabled!");
    }
   
    public void onDisable() {
        Bukkit.getServer().getLogger().info("Vote has been enabled!");
    }

   
   
    public boolean onCommand(Command sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args) {
        Player voter = (Player) sender;
       
       
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("vote")) {
            voter.sendMessage("Who would you like to vote for? Type '/votefor' to name a player");
            Player target = voter.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("votefor") && target != null) {
            getConfig().createSection(target.getName());
        }
           
        }
        return true;
    }
   
   
}

    And this is the error I get with it. It's probably something very obvious that I am missing.

    @Ramsay That is a problem while exporting your plugin, your plugin.yml isn't exporting with it.

    @timtower Thanks, now I just need to find out how to export my plugin.yml file... Thanks! Also for the main code, there is some deprecation on
    Code:
    Player target = voter.getServer().getPlayer(args[0]);
    Any to solve that?

    @Ramsay Safe to ignore, from what I know:
    Deprecated to get attention to the UUID change, some times you need to use that one though.

    @Ramsay Export issue again, could you open the jar with winzip or similar and check if there is a plugin.yml present?

    @Ramsay Well now it's not the plugin.yml's fault. It's your code. In Eclipse, does it give you any errors?

    @Ramsay Because that isn't related to the suppressing.
    How does your plugin.yml look like?
