Expected Behavior

Normally, restore can handle many restores, this new version stops restoring after one time. I restart the server, and I can restore the thing I want. Not how it should work, does it?

Reproduction Steps

1. Restarted server,
2. got into the world,
3. selected an area where a building was,
4. picked the right snapshot file,
5. entered restore and got an error.
6. It said to report it here.

Anything Else?

Thanks for the wonderfull plugin.

[MrKiller01]

I mean that the first time after a server restart, restore works, the second time it does not.

[me4502]

From memory the main change in 7.4 relating to snapshots, was we made the experimental mode in the config default to true.

Can you please tell us what that's set to in your config, and try the opposite of whatever it's currently set to and let us know if it works?

[MrKiller01]

You mean the config.yml in the plugin\worldedit folder? I looked but there is no experimental option in it.

[me4502]

Yes, this option

[MrKiller01]

config.yml
This is my file.

[me4502]

It looks like your experimental option has been deleted (in a file likely without write permissions to re-add it), which would mean it defaults to true. So do the above steps, assuming the value is set to true

[MrKiller01]

I added a line and it looks like this now:
snapshots:
directory: E:\Minecraft\New-New-Holland2\backups/
experimental: false
Restarted the server and I'm gonna test it.

[MrKiller01]

This seems to work. Thank you very much for the help.

[octylFractal]

The experimental mode still needs to be fixed, so I'm leaving this open.
