Not creating file/folder

Hey, for some reason this code doesn't want to create the folder nor the actual file while I've used stuff like this before and it all worked out fine.

Here's my code snippet:

Code:

   
File Townfolder = new File(getDataFolder(),"TownData");
     
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void OnEnable(){   
   
    YamlConfiguration DefaultConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new File(Townfolder,"default.yml"));
    Items.add(5);
    Items.add(6);
    Drops.add(5);
    Drops.add(6);
    DefaultConfig.set("Items",Items);
    DefaultConfig.set("Drops",Drops);
    try {
        DefaultConfig.save(new File(Townfolder,"default.yml"));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

 

afaik for custom folders, you need to call .mkdir()

 

Creating a new File object just creates a reference to a file with that name in that area, regardless of whether it exists or not. If you then try to use a File object which refers to a file which doesn't exist, you'll get errors.
You can use Townfolder.exists() to check whether the file exists at that location, and then it's safe to refer to it without getting errors. In the event that it doesn't exist, you can create the file using Townfolder.create().

Also, I believe you can mark directories in the path string as such: "Townfolder/default.yml". Not sure if that's what you're trying to do here?

 

Ok but even when I manually create the Townfolder it won't create the default.yml.

 

Code:

File f = new File(Townfolder, "default.yml");
f.createNewFile();
