My config.yml is empty

I figured out with configs and it's working just one big problem...
The config file is empty when it generates, here is my Main java:

Code:java

package me.joshepic_1234.Test;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin{
public static Main plugin;
public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
 
@Override
public void onDisable() {
PluginDescriptionFile p = this.getDescription();
this.logger.info(p.getName() + " V" + p.getVersion() + " Has Been Disabled!");
saveConfig();
}
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
PluginDescriptionFile p = this.getDescription();
this.logger.info(p.getName() + " V" + p.getVersion() + " Has Been Enabled!");
getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveConfig();
}
 
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String commandLabel, String[] args){
Player player = (Player) sender;
if(label.equalsIgnoreCase("server")){
if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("staff")){
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("staff"));
} else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("info")){
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("info"));
} else if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("rules")){
player.sendMessage(getConfig().getString("rules"));
}
 
}
return false;
}
}

And my plugin.yml:

Code:java

name: Test
main: me.joshepic_1234.Test.Main
version: 1.0
description: >
A test!
commands:
server:
description: Main command for SimpleInfo

And my config.yml:

Code:java

# Default Configuration file for Test
info: info about the server:
rules: rules of the server:
staff: staff of the server:

 

Try:
saveDefaultConfig()
This is how I do it:

Code:java

if(!new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml").exists()){
            saveDefaultConfig();
            reloadConfig();
        }

 

josh12341 Just change your saveConfig(); line to saveDefaultConfig();

It will only save the default config if it doesn't exist. There is not need to check if it exists or not hanahouhanah

Look at the second line of my post. o_o
I was simply stating how I implemented this in my code when I make configs, I wasn't stating that's how he should do it.

 

hanahouhanah I know that. I'm stating that you, yourself don't need to check if it exists or not.

 

It still doesn't work

 

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
    this.saveDefaultConfig(); //this saves the config that you have defined.
}

Alternatively you could do what others have said and use "saveDefaultConfig()", but I prefer using the first method.
