Solved Config Retrieving Issues

I am having issues getting values from the config. For some reason "getConfig()" is taking throwing an "IllegalArgumentException: file cannot be null";

Which is weird. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Really need help.

Well, How sure are you that config.yml is an actual file?

 

100%, isFile() is a beautiful method. tommycake50

Ok, thats odd.
Can we see your code?

 

Yes.

My Error is thrown onthe getters. @tommycake

 

I may regret involving myself in this thread, but this:

Code:java

if(!file.exists() && file.isFile() )

is definitely not what you wanted to do there.

I see what your saying. But before it still threw the exception.
tommycake50

 

Instead of this:File file = new File(getDataFolder() + "config.yml");
Maybe this:File file = new File(getDataFolder(), "config.yml");
And you might want to saveConfig or saveDefaultConfig somewhere onenable.

 

tommycake50
Thank you but it didn't work.
I find this weird because I reference getConfig() before and it worked then.
I think I may just try get(Stringpath) and cast even though it isnt type safe.

Thank you! My Execute class uses a new instance of my main class which doesn't like using configs.
