Solved plugin.yml is not working

Hey everyone I've created my own PvP plugin. I have also made a plugin.yml fie. I did everything like I normally would do. I also followed some help on a website. But it isn't working! And because of that I can't use my plugin. Please help: http://puu.sh/agJWS/4827a14edb.yml So I would just like a fixed version of my plugin.yml.

 

tovd1234 it looks fine... what's the error? Paste the stack trace from the console when you load the server.

 

The Error:

18:16:07 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins\EnderPvP.jar' in folder 'plugins'

I dont think that it matters, but I'm using BukkitGUI

 

tovd1234 that permissions section looks a bit wonky

 

How can I fix that?

 

tovd1234 add a default value to the permissions.

Code:

permissions:
  permission.node:
    default: op|true|false (whichever you want)

(any key-value would work, as long as there is anything there.)

 

And those values probably means who has permission for this by default. Right?

 

tovd1234 in this example, yes. I though I might make the example useful for bukkit.

op means op have the permission by default, true means everyone, false means no one

 

http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML
and also i dont know but i am assuming that the order is first commands come and then the permissions

there is no op aswell
reverse of op so everyone except ops can use it

 

ulsa as far as I know the order of elements in the plugin.yml doesn't matter.

tovd1234 your plugin.yml looks fine so I don't know why it would be invalid, but trying what fireblast709 said is a good place to start

 

ulsa fireblast709
I've done both, but it still won't work and I get the same error (http://puu.sh/agVRU/8444741382.yml)

I've done that, but I still get those errors, I've also found the Cause some lines under it: Caused by: org.yaml.snakeyaml.scanner.ScannerException: null; mapping values are not allowed here
I've googled it and it means that you have some characters not on the right place or something like that. I've checked all of that but I still get errors.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

tovd1234 This is a beginners mistake that you do once and never do again, but I may as well ask since your plugin.yml looks absolutely fine.

When you wrote the file, did you use tabs or spaces? YML files need to have spaces, they don't work if you hit tab.

 

I've removed all open spacec, and then added them again. But I still get the same error! I'm going to to it again tomorrow and check everything in the file.

 

tovd1234 that last file 'enderpvp.sign.create' and 'enderpvp.resetkit' have invalid yaml like I explained before

 

Try doing your plugin.yml in java eclipse's editor. I had the same problem and that's what fixed it.

 

I was already doing it in Eclipse's Editor

fireblast709 wesley27 I've done all of the things yoou told me but I still get exactly the same error (Mapping values are not allowed)

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

tovd1234 I honestly can't think of anything, it's very strange. Is your plugin.yml in the root directory of your plugin? It should be.

Your file looks fine. I guess you should work on what fireblast709 said about those two perms being invalid, but I'm not sure what he meant by that. He could explain?

 

How many spaces are you putting? And no tabbing?
4 spaces between each?

 

fireblast709 meant that the permission lines
enderpvp.sign.create
enderpvp.resetkit
Doesn't have anything after them.
But the problem is on line 26
The permission line for the "Tank" command

permission enderpvp.tank
its missing a column for permission.

I recommand using a online parser next time like http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/

fireblast709 @@wesley27 tryy3 Thanks to you all! I finnaly found out what was wrong. I used the YAML Parser! (Thanks to tryy3) With that I found all the errors, now the plugin works like a charm and you don't want to know how happy I am with my first plugin ;D.
