[Unsolved] HashMap not saving/loading through reload

So I am using a hashmap and config for deathbans in a plugin that i am making and for some reason it is not loading/saving through the reload. Here is where I load & save

Code (Text):

public static final HashMap<UUID, Long> banned = new HashMap<UUID, Long>();

    public void setupBanManager() {
        try {
            this.file2 = new File(getDataFolder() + File.separator + "bans.yml");
            this.yaml2 = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(this.file2);
            if (file2.exists()) {
                try {
                    for (String uuid : getDeathBans().getYaml()
                            .getConfigurationSection("uuids").getKeys(false)) {
                        UUID u = UUID.fromString(uuid);
                        Long l = getDeathBans().getYaml().getLong(u + ".long");
                        banned.put(u, l);
                    }
                } catch (NullPointerException ignored) {
                    // empty block catch
                }
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void startBanCycle() {
        Bukkit.getScheduler().scheduleSyncRepeatingTask(this, new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                if (!banned.isEmpty()) {
                    for (String uuid : getDeathBans().getYaml()
                            .getConfigurationSection("uuids").getKeys(false)) {
                        UUID u = UUID.fromString(uuid);
                        Long l = banned.get(u);
                        banned.put(u, l - 1);
                        Long update = banned.get(u);
                        if (update <= 0) {
                            banned.remove(u);
                            getDeathBans().getYaml().set("uuids" + "." + u,
                                    null);
                            getDeathBans().reload();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }, 20, 20);
    }

public void onDisable() {
        if (!banned.isEmpty()) {
            for (UUID u : banned.keySet()) {
                Long l = banned.get(u);
                this.yaml2.set("uuids." + u.toString(), l);
                saveBans();
            }
        }
    }
//In onEnable I have this
setupBanManager();
        this.dManager = new DeathBans(yaml2, file2);
        startBanCycle();
        saveBans();

 

Here is the DeathBans class too if it helps

Code (Text):

public class DeathBans {

    private YamlConfiguration yaml;
    private File file;

    public DeathBans(YamlConfiguration yaml, File file) {
        this.file = file;
        this.yaml = yaml;
    }

    public YamlConfiguration getYaml() {
        return this.yaml;
    }

    public File getFile() {
        return this.file;
    }

    public void addDeathBan(Player p, long time) {
        yaml.set("uuids." + p.getUniqueId().toString(), time);
        A.banned.put(p.getUniqueId(), time);
        save();
    }

    public void unBan(OfflinePlayer p) {
        if (isBanned(p)) {
            yaml.set("uuids." + p.getUniqueId().toString(), null);
            save();
        }
    }

    public boolean isBanned(OfflinePlayer p) {
        return yaml.contains("uuids." + p.getUniqueId().toString());
    }

    public void reload() {
        save();
    }

    private void save() {
        try {
            this.yaml.save(this.file);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

 

Thanks for the feedback but could you help me solve the problem at hand?

 

Look at the code, I do save after each edit to the config

 

Wouldnt that save it then? but thats not the issue, it does not load the bans when the server is restarted or reloaded

 

okay, what method could I use to directly "reload" as I do not see any

 

So I added this

Code (Text):

public void reloadConfig() throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
        Reader defConfigStream = new InputStreamReader(A.getInstance()
                .getResource("bans.yml"), "UTF8");
        try {
            save();
            if (defConfigStream != null) {
                YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration
                        .loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
                yaml.setDefaults(defConfig);
                Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender()
                        .sendMessage("Reloaded 'bans.yml'!");
            }
            reloadConfig();
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            Bukkit.getServer().getConsoleSender()
                    .sendMessage("Null resource 'bans.yml'");
        }
    }

to my Deathbans class and put it everywhere where i save data but what about loading it. It seems to save fine but does not load into the hashmap

 

Now i get a NPE on this line

Code (Text):

Reader defConfigStream = new InputStreamReader(A.getInstance()
                .getResource("bans.yml"), "UTF8");

when I reload the server

 

Sorry if this counts as a bump but also now the timer does not tick for the deathban it stays at the time placed into the map

 

Still getting a NPE

 

Thanks but I would prefer to not use the default ban system IF possible, I fixed the NPE error and it saves the time to the config onDisable but will not load it from the onEnable

 

Bump
