NPE on getConfig()

I'm trying to implement config files and userdata into my plugin, but upon starting I get this:

Code:

17:23:49 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling RoyalCommands v0.0.3 (Is it up to date?): null
java.lang.NullPointerException

Code:

17:23:52 [INFO] This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-1.8.1-R4-99-g893d9d9-b1572jnks (MC: 1.0.1) (Implementing API version 1.0.0-R1-SNAPSHOT)

And of course, here's the java file:

Code:

...


	public void loadConfiguration() {
		plugin.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true); // line 42
		plugin.saveConfig();
		File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder() + "/userdata/");
		boolean exists = file.exists();
		if (!exists) {
			try {
				boolean success = new File(plugin.getDataFolder() + "/userdata")
						.mkdir();
				if (success) {
					log.info("[RoyalCommands] Created userdata directory.");
				}
			} catch (Exception e) {
				log.severe("[RoyalCraft] Failed to make userdata directory!");
				log.severe(e.getMessage());
			}
		}
	}

	public void onEnable() {

		loadConfiguration(); //line 62

		PluginManager pm = this.getServer().getPluginManager();

...

I cannot find why it NPEs on plugin.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);.

config.yml in jar:

Code:

## RoyalCommands v0.0.3 Config File

# Whether to disable /getip command (also disables /compareip)
disabled_getip: false

 

Try updating your Bukkit AND CraftBukkit

 

its config.yml not config.xml
EDIT: and also, the comments in the config.yml will not be copied, thats why i hate copyDefaults

 

Yup, this probably is your problem.

 

Thanks, but I accidentally wrote xml in the post, I have config.yml in my jar.

The jar is here if you want to try it. Just in case.

 

is this loadCofiguration method in the main class? why its plugin.getConfig?

 

Compiled using newest Bukkit release from ci.bukkit, still same NPE.

Well that was stupid of me. Changing it to this.getConfig fixes the NPE. I forgot I was making it in the main class. Thanks for catching my error, I probably never would have.

xD, np...thats what my first guess but i didnt think anyone would do this kind of error(no offence)
and sometimes when i suggest stuff i always end up being wrong and critisized by someone so i didnt post right away
