Solved YamlConfig getItemStack always returns null

I have a plugin that used to store items via a manual system of adding each bit of information an item stores. Now with ItemMeta added to the ItemStack.serialize I decided to use the addItemStack method of my FileConfig. The file saving works fine, ie for a book I get something like this:

Code:

'0-gnu':
  type: WRITTEN_BOOK
  meta:
    ==: ItemMeta
    meta-type: BOOK
    title: blarg
    author: maxietom
    pages:
    - blahblahblahblahblah
    - ''
    - book stuff random
    - pineapple

But when it loads, it ALWAYS return null.

Here's my code I use to save an ItemStack:

Code:

ItemStack item = inv.getItem(i);
            config.set(i.toString() + "-gnu", item.serialize());

and my code to load:

Code:

ItemStack item = config.getItemStack(i.toString() + "-gnu");
       
                //DEBUG STATEMENTS
                if(item == null)
                getLogger().info("Added NULL item");
            else
                getLogger().info("Added item");
            getLogger().info(config.getString(i.toString() + "-gnu.type"));
       
                inv.setItem(i, item);

The weird part is that my debugging code prints out the name of EACH ITEM, so the configuration itself works. The ItemStack loading does not.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

what about just putting the ItemStack there instead of the item.serialize()?

 

Yep, that was it. Thanks!
