Getting a wierd NPE.

I am trying to update the TelePads plugin to support the new CraftBukkit Builds and to allow BungeeCord TelePads.

However I get the following NPE :

Code:

Here is the concerned code :

Code:

Location locationTemp = null;
        // TODO: Make this getList... a proper while statement rather than something that doesn't work.
        List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>((padConfig.getConfigurationSection("pads").getKeys(false)));
        if (names.isEmpty()) {
            System.out.println(this + ": No pads were loaded!");
            return;
        }
        telepads.clear();
        for (String nextit : names) {
            if (!padConfig.contains("pads." + nextit)) {
                System.out.println(this + ": Finished re-scanning pads");
                return;
            }
            locationTemp = new Location(null, padConfig.getInt("pads." + nextit + ".X"),
                    padConfig.getInt("pads." + nextit + ".Y"),
                    padConfig.getInt("pads." + nextit + ".Z"));
            telepads.put(locationTemp, nextit);
        }

Line 195 :

Code:

List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>((padConfig.getConfigurationSection("pads").getKeys(false)));

Could anyone help me?

 

1. are you sure padConfig is not null?
2. are you sure section "pads" exists in your config? (might be a typo or sth.)

try to add some debug messages/checks (i.e. print padConfig, the config section, etc.)

 

at me.wizzledonker.plugins.telepads.Telepads.onEnable(Telepads.java:60)

 

where did you defined padConfig?
