Solved Config resets after reload

Hi Guys, I got a question to Configs. Even when it's a basic thing, I never understood the thing with the Configs.
Currently I have the issue, that when I'm changing something in the Config and reload the server, it will set the Config-File to the Default-Config again. I have no Idea why, but it's doing it >_>
I watched several Tutorials to check if I'm doing something wrong, but I do the same as all others too, and for them it's working -.-

Code:java

@Override
    public void onEnable() {
        logger = getLogger();
        checkDatabaseFiles();
        getConfig().options().copyHeader(true);
        getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();

I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.

 

try using saveDefaultConfig() on the onEnable and saveConfig on the onDisable

 

Also tried this already, but then it's just adding the Header and not more.

getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true)
Its maybe cuz u ask to copy the defaut config after a reload.

You can try this.

public File config;
this.config = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
if (!(this.config.exists()))
{try
{getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);}
catch (Exception e )
{e.printStackTrace();}}

 

But shouldn't it be called always, so when a Variable/Setting in the Config is not there, it will automaticly add it again with the default-value. That's how I understand the copyDefault > Only copies the missing Settings.

 

Well in your on enable you might have it to saveconfig() that means no matter what, it changes the config to the default, can you post the one able method?

 

mine-care Already posted the entire class.

 

U have it all in just one class? Lol..
Also I can't scroll to find the on enable, iOS won't help at all
And instead of fields like version ="1.1.0" u can use
This.plugin.getversion

 

No? It's just the Bukkit-Startup. You should see the rest.
Yeah I know but I don't want to do it like that.
How does that help me at all?

 

PreFiXAUT okay :-( I just wanted to tell u about the version thing... Sorry but again can't send me the one able because I can't scroll on it, Also you mean custom config? Or bukkit config?

 

Didn't mean it bad if you think that.
I'm just gonna post it on pastebin so you're able to see it >>MAIN-CLASS<<
Of course my own Config, what should i do with the bukkit-config xD >>CONFIG-FILE<<

 

Well you use getconfig, options.savedefaults that resets it.
Instead do this.savedefaultconfig

 

mine-care
As I mentioned in

I already tested it. Just for safety I tried it again > still overrides the Config.
Could it might be the 1.7.9.Development Build? but they didn't change something in the Config as far as I know :/

 

Now dat is weird... Try deleting the data folder and restart so we see the behavior of the plugin, also are u sure config is correct? Sometimes where something is wrong with config, bukkit returns it to defaults, soo in your case if a default is wrong then it is doing it endlessly mabe you have wrong the spaces before sections, it's 2 spaces before each subsection...

 

All data is correct. I just change a setting from false to true and reload the server. The config is 100% valid, checked it 2 times and otherwise I'ld get a stacktracke in the console.

 

W

Wow I sugest you contact a bukkit dev staff that is online.. Sorry cant help...

 

bump

 

Don't save your config in OnDisable.

I'v tried it and it works for me.

 

Already saw your post, but I thought I had no saveConfig in my onDisable. I didn't even notice it xD
Anyway also works for me now, thanks for the reminder
