Plugin Won't load when no problems are shown/can be seen by me

Hello,
I am having a problem where I am writing code that shows no errors, I am adding everything neccesary to my plugin.yml, yet my plugin will not show up when i do /plugins, the message i have asked to show in console isnt showing, and no commands show. My code is:

Code:java

package jstuie.bkplugin.linkServer;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args) {
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ls")){
            if(sender.hasPermission("linkserver.ls")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLACK + "=====|" + ChatColor.AQUA + "LinkServer" + ChatColor.RESET + ChatColor.BLACK + "|=====");
                sender.sendMessage("Test");
                }else{
                    sender.sendMessage("No Perms!");
                }
 
        }
                return false;
 
 
    }
 
    public String consolePrefix(){
 
        return "[LinkServer]";
 
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        getLogger().info(consolePrefix() + "LinkServer has been disabled");
    }
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        getLogger().info(consolePrefix() + "LinkServer has been enabled");
    }
 
 
 
}

and my plugin.yml is:

Code:

name: LinkServer
main: jstuie.bkplugin.linkServer.Main
version: 0.0.1
commands:
  ls:
    description: LinkServer Help
    usage: "/ls"
   

Any help appreciated
Thanks

 

This may sound silly, but did you export the proper JAR to the plugins folder? When you check the JAR, does it have the appropriate class files in it? If you aren't getting console errors when the server starts, then the only other issue I can think of is that Bukkit isn't detecting your plugin at all.

 

I opened the jar file with WinRar and the class I created is in there. When I export it as a jar in eclipse, I go to
File/Export
then I select jar file from the menu and change the save path to my desktop
I am probibly making a really nooby mistake but i cant see it. Just to clarify, is this the right option to export as?:



Update: I recompiled it and now I am getting a error in console.

Good...an error! That's way better than no error if something is not working!

This error tells you that you have tabs in the plugin.yml. Plugin.yml doesn't like tabs, get rid

 

I have gone through my plugin.yml and couldnt find any, anyway I deleted all indents and relpaced them again with spacebar and still no luck.

thanks for your help guys anyway

Please check if you have the plugin.yml in the right place. (This is something very basic but even experts sometimes make this mistake.)

 

lookout if you use notepad++ to make the plugin.yml, it likes to replace spaces with tabs

it should be in 'src' right. http://prntscr.com/1yamfq

 

jstuie no. it should be in the root of your project.

 

Ok, i have moved it there, and now I am not getting that error, But, im not getting anything. Nothing in the '/plugins' list, my command doesnt work, and '/help linkserver' doesnt work. Im sorry you have to suffer through my noobyness and it is probibly something really simple but you guys are experts and I am not. Thanks for all your help tho.

It would be helpful if you can upload a screenshot of your plugin navigation tab. (With everything unlocked so that we can see what's in which file. Thanks!

 

jstuie
check your jar file with winrar again and make sure the plugin.yml is at the root of your jar. I always put the plugin.yml in the src folder in eclipse and it was always at the right place at the end.

Put a space between "version" and "commands" in your plugin.yml?
