Files

File file = new File("plugins/ThisIsThePluginsDirectory/Log.txt");

It throws a java.io.IOException. "java.io.IOException The system was not able to find the specified path"

Could you help? Thanks in advance

 

Try this instead

PHP:

File file = new File("../ThisIsThePluginsDirectory/Log.txt");

I don't know if it will work, it's just what I would have tried

 

I get the same error =\ .

If this helps at all:

Code:java

 
    public void writeToFile(String str){
        try {
            File file = new File("../ThisIsAPlugin/Log.txt");
 
            if(file.exists() == false){
                file.createNewFile();
            }
 
            BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
            output.write(str);
            output.newLine();
            output.close();  
            this.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, str);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(ThisIsAPlugin.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }

Ahhh, I remember working with files...
It was a pain. But it pays.
Just pulled this out of ImgMap:

Code:JAVA

File f = new File(cirno.getDataFolder().getAbsoluteFile(), "\\MapData.list");

cirno is the JavaPlugin class.

 

Thanks Cirno

 

Could be possibly that the folder doesn't exist.
Got lazy, just copypasta'd my own source.

Code:JAVA

    public void initializeFile() throws IOException{
        File f = new File(cirno.getDataFolder().getAbsoluteFile(), "\\MapData.list");
        File folder = new File(cirno.getDataFolder().getAbsoluteFile().getAbsolutePath());
        if(!folder.exists()){
            folder.mkdir();
        }
        if(!f.exists()){
            f.createNewFile();
        }
        FileSafeForUse = true;
    }

 

Yeah, I figured that out Thanks!

 

notice this dont works on linux, and most server use linux these days, use an "/" for linux (also works on windows)
