package me.theeyeofthepotato.varm;

import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

import me.theeyeofthepotato.varm.parser.Varm;
import me.theeyeofthepotato.varm.parser.VarmTab;

public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
    
    @Override
    public void onEnable() {
        new Varm(this);
        this.getCommand("varm").setTabCompleter(new VarmTab());
        this.saveDefaultConfig();
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onDisable() {
        
    }
}

according to the spigot docs, this code should generate a new config.yml file in the plugin's data folder. It does not create the data folder nor does it create the config.yml file. Any reason that you guys can see? Thanks in advance!

#

It will only create the config.yml IF a config.yml exists inside the jar

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

so where do I put the config.yml

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 12:58 AM

#

are you using a build system like Maven or Gradle?

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

I think Maven

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:03 AM

#

Then there should be a resources folder inside src/main somewhere

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:05 AM

#

that's the main package, in my case package me.theeyeofthepotato.varm;?

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:06 AM

#

no, there are folders in your project

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

I don't see any folders

#

inside my src, I have two packages

#

and that's it

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

I'll assume you are using InteliJ

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:07 AM

#

(and a plugin.yml)

#

eclipse

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

ok eclipse

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

that is not at all what mine looks like

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:08 AM

#

it is very close

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:09 AM

#

...not really?

#

hold on

#

see?

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

ok no pom, so you are not using any build system

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

oh ok then

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

put your config.yml in the same place your plugin.yml is

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

ah ok

#

do I need a build system?

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

no

#

not to start

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:10 AM

#

what is a build system

echo phoenix Oct 31, 2021, 1:11 AM

#

it just makes it much easier to work with other plugins and libraries later

slate trellis Oct 31, 2021, 1:11 AM

#

ah
