onEnable not being called?

I have debugging references in my onEnable() method however they don't seem to be called on startup.

Code:java

 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
getCommand("listpaths").setExecutor(this);
this.getLogger().log(Level.FINE, "got here 1");
for(int i = 0; i < ItemConverter.bmList.size(); i++) {
this.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, ItemConverter.bmList.get(i).path);
}
this.getLogger().log(Level.FINE, "got here 2");
}

Neither "got here 1" or "got here 2" ever show up in my console.

 

Add some logging calls first so you know if your function is or isn't working first.

Code:

@Override
public void onEnable() {
this.getLogger().info("onEnable is being called!");

 

sounds like you forgot
load: STARTUP

 

Why doesn't .log() work?

You don't need that.


The issue is that your plugin isn't even detected, probably errors somewhere

 

Fixed, .info(). Was being called just didn't properly do some other stuff. thanks.

 

actually you do need it, otherwise it won't load on startup. duh.

 

Actually you don't need that. Nobody uses that.
You should not be messing with priorities if you don't know what you are doing.

 

priorities? what are you on about? i meant in plugin.yml lol

 

...

 

The only 3 things required in a plugin yml for the plugin to function (No commands or anything) are main, name and possibly version

 

well, in that case smartasses, tell me why none of my plugins work unless i put load: Startup in the plugin.yml?

 

You should not have to put startup in your plugin.yml, I have never done it and I write plugins for a community with 15,000 members.

 

See here: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML

It is not mandatory.

also, Techy4198 - it is often very interesting to be wrong - it means you learnt something. Don't be so defensive lol. Nobody knows everything, and learning something new is always awesome in the land of programming. I've been a self-employed programmer for a long long time, and I still learn something new almost every day.

 

seriously though, am i doing something wrong if my plugins won't start without that line?

also, i have said the same in many other threads and nobody told me it was wrong until this time. and i've seen many other people saying the same thing in threads, and on most occasions it makes it work.
