Solved saveDefaultConfig() not saving config

hi, i use saveDefaultConfig() in my onEnable() method but it does not save a version of my config, i dont even get a moreminecarts folder. I tried logging a message in my onEnable method as well and it did not work but interestingly it registered my event listener. Heres my onEnable()

Code:

@Override
    public void onEnable(){
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
        loadConfig();
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new MoreMinecartsEventListener(this), this);
    }

and my plugin.yml if that helps

Code:

name: MoreMinecarts
main: me.sothatsit.moreminecarts.MoreMinecarts
version: 0.1

loadConfig() is a method that i have created that just gets all the values from my config

Make sure to copy the default options.

PHP:

this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);

 

SoThatsIt does a config exist for saveDefaultConfig to work?

 

thnaks for the suggestion but it did not work , it isnt even creating the config at all, not even the data folder

 

Make a config.yml file in the same place as your plugin.yml and then do saveDefaultConfig(); You dont need to add all the values. Add all of the things you would add with your loadConfig method into the config.yml

 

i have a config.yml in the same place as my plugin.yml it just isnt copying over.

 

Thats really weird... Just tested it and it works fine for me... Are you using a dev build of Bukkit it might be a Bukkit problem.

 

ill test it with the newest build now

i downloaded the recommended bukkit and craftbukkit builds, recompiled and loaded. still didnt work, even checked that the config.yml was inside the jar file

weird... Ive got no idea but that could be because its 1:30 where I am...

 

I am starting to think it is a problem with my onEnable() as using this.getLogger().info("TEST"); is not logging to terminal. Although, my event listener still gets registered.

 

SoThatsIt If your plugin is not enabled, bukkit "should not" be registering your listeners.

 

Then can you explain to me why it doesnt log the message? and why it doesnt create the config?

I fixed it! turns out it wasnt a problem at all with my code but with my plugins folder, even when i deleted the plugin it still loaded... so i just deleted my plugins folder and then re-made it.
