It doesn't work(always returns a default value). getString() also doesn't work. Others methods like getInt() , getBoolean() are working.
Why?

 

post your configuration file.

also, you should use FileConfiguration, instead of Configuration.

also also, use getString(path,default) instead of get(path,default).toString();

 

file:

Code:

broadcast:
  pre: '&9AutoSaving'
  post: '&9AutoSave Complete'
broadcastbackup:
  pre: '&9AutoBackuping'
  post: '&9AutoBackup Complete'
status:
  fail: '&9AutoSave has stopped, check the server logs for more info'
  notrun: '&9AutoSave is running but has not yet saved.'
  success: '&9AutoSave is running and last saved at ${DATE}.'
  'off': '&9AutoSave is not running (disabled)'
insufficentpermissions: '&cYou do not have access to that command.'
stopping: '&9AutoSave Stopping'
starting: '&9AutoSave Starting'
info:
  nan: '&cYou must enter a valid number, ex: 300'
  changesuccess: '&9${VARIABLE} has been updated.'
infolookup: '&9${VARIABLE} is ${VALUE}'
infolistlookup: '&9${VARIABLE} is set to [${VALUE}]'
infoinvalid: '&cYou must enter a valid setting (${VALIDSETTINGS})'
version: '&9AutoSave v${VERSION}, Instance ${UUID}'
warning: '&9Warning, AutoSave will commence soon.'
warningbackup: '&9Warning, AutoBackup will commence soon'

P.S getString() also doen't work.

 

i found the problem.

do this

private FileConfiguration configmsg;

then in loadmsg():
configmsg = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(new File("wherever the config is located"));

 

Now it works, thanks!
But still intresting why getInt() and others were working?

 

...not a clue
