[JENKINS-53353] Jenkins requires restart when installing plugins with TransientViewActionFactories

[jenkins-infra-bot]

TransientViewActionFactories are only ever called once per view, see here

 

This means that if you install a plugin that affects the view (via a TransientViewActionFactory) and getActions() has already been called for that view, your implementation of TransientViewActionFactory will not be called and your action will not happen (eg, populating a sidepanel entry etc).

 

We should either implement an ExtensionListener to dirty the cached transientActions when a new plugin is loaded, or do away with the caching altogether
