vMenu shows "ignore permissions" warning even though permissions.cfg is configured and executed

[plazyydev]

When starting my server, vMenu always prints this warning:

[vMenu] [WARNING] vMenu is set up to ignore permissions!

Even though I have a valid permissions.cfg file and I’m executing it in my server.cfg.

My setup:

FiveM build: Cerulean

vMenu: latest release (downloaded from CFX forum)

permissions.cfg is located in the server root (same directory as server.cfg)

vMenu is inside resources/[core]/vMenu

server.cfg contains:

exec permissions.cfg
ensure vMenu

In vMenu/config.json:

"use_permissions": true,
"enable_weather_sync": false

What I expected:
vMenu should load the permissions from permissions.cfg and not show the “ignore permissions” warning.

What actually happens:
Even though the permissions file exists and is executed, vMenu still prints the warning and runs as if "use_permissions": false.

Additional info:

The permissions.cfg is formatted correctly (tested and valid syntax).

Restarting or moving the file doesn’t fix the issue.

Console output shows no file-not-found errors.

Steps to reproduce:

Place permissions.cfg in the server root.

Add exec permissions.cfg before ensure vMenu in server.cfg.

Start the server.

Observe vMenu warning.

Expected behavior:
vMenu should load the permissions and apply ACEs normally.
