Solved Help! Invalid plugin.yml When trying to add a permission

Hey guys! I added a permission to my code and added it into the plugin yml. When I loaded the plugin, the stacktrace said I have an invalid plugin.yml. Here is my plugin yml.

Code:

name: UppercutStaff
main: plugins.mkezar.UppercutStaff
version: 1.0
description: Punch players!
commands:
  punch:
     description: Punches players!
permissions:
  uppercut.punch:
    Gives people access to punch people!

     

Please help!

 

I tried to verify it at www.yamllint.com and it says there are no errors. Could you please post the whole stack trace here?

 

@mkezar

Make sure your main matches your package name (packagename.mainclass)
Also look at line 10 and figure out what problem exists there.

@mkezar

Code:

permissions:
  uppercut.punch:
  description: Gives people access to punch people!

Try this.

 

Here is my code:

Code:

package plugins.mkezar;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class UppercutStaff extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
   
    public void onEnable() {
         Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
   
     @Override
        public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("punch")){
                if(!sender.hasPermission("uppercut.punch")) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to do that!");
                }
                if(args.length == 0){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Usage: /punch <Player>");
                    return true;

                }
                @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
                Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
                if(target == null){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + args[0] + " is not online!");
                    return true;
                }
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + sender.getName() + ChatColor.AQUA + " has punched " + ChatColor.YELLOW + target.getName());
            }
           
            return false;
        }
    
}

 

@mkezar

Code:

    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
          if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("punch")){
              if(!sender.hasPermission("uppercut.punch")) {
                  sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to do that!");
                   // You forgot to stop the code if they dont have the perm
                  return true;

 

I am confused. Am I supposed to add a return? because this is my code.

Code:

 @Override
        public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
            if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("punch")){
                if(!sender.hasPermission("uppercut.punch")) {
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission to do that!");
                }
                if(args.length == 0){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Usage: /punch <Player>");
                    return true;

                }
                @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
                Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[0]);
                if(target == null){
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + args[0] + " is not online!");
                    return true;
                }
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.YELLOW + sender.getName() + ChatColor.AQUA + " has punched " + ChatColor.YELLOW + target.getName());
            }
           
            return false;
        }

and I do end it.

 

Code:

name: UppercutStaff
main: plugins.mkezar.UppercutStaff
version: 1.0
description: Punch players!
commands:
  punch:
     description: Punches players!
permissions:
  uppercut.punch:
  Gives people access to punch people!

you forgot description: on your permission description. supposed to be:

Code:

name: UppercutStaff
main: plugins.mkezar.UppercutStaff
version: 1.0
description: Punch players!
commands:
  punch:
    description: Punches players!
permissions:
  uppercut.punch:
    description: Gives people access to punch people!

 

what a fail. Lol thank you

 

End the code if the sender does not have permission..
