NullPointerException?

Hello! I am working on updating one of my plugins, and I cannot seem to figure out why this is getting a null pointer. Is it the "getKeys" thing? The NPE is on line 2 of the code below:

Code:

int d = 0;
                    if (getConfig().getConfigurationSection("email.accounts.saves.account-info." + email_send_email.get(name) + ".mail").getKeys(false) == null){
                        d = 1;
                    }
                  
                    if (getConfig().getConfigurationSection("email.accounts.saves.account-info." + email_send_email.get(name) + ".mail").getKeys(false) != null){
                        d = getConfig().getConfigurationSection("email.accounts.saves.account-info." + email_send_email.get(name) + ".mail").getKeys(false).size() + 1;

//and then more code here after doing the check above

                    }

Thanks

 

What line?

 

@beastman3226 Line 2

@beastman3226 on the full code, it's line 186, but above, its 2

Alright, there are two variables that you don't have that it could be. Check that name is being given a value before this is called. And the other is the email_send_email. Best way to handle this is to add debug statements that tell you the value of these as the method gets called.

 

@beastman3226 I added a debug statement, but the hashmap contained exactly what I wanted it to...

@beastman3226 and the value "name" was been given

Can we see the full Stacktrace then?

 

@beastman3226 actually, there is no need to fix this null pointer, as I have fixed it another way with a StringList. Thanks for your help though
