TransientProjectActionFactory and installation without restart

[vojta....@gmail.com]

Hi,

My Jenkins plugin implements an TransientProjectActionFactory in order to provide project-level action. Unfortunately the action doesn't appear until the Jenkins is restarted. My two questions are:

1. Is there a mechanism that will allow me to see the action without requiring the restart?

2. If not, is there a mechanism that will allow me to indicate that restart is actually required in order not to mislead the user?

The problem is that currently part of the functionality is not working and I'm afraid it may be confusing to the users.

Thanks,
Vojta

Probably the factory is getting used for newly created and newly
modified projects, but not for existing projects which were not
reconfigured, since there is a cache of transient actions.

Try using `TransientActionFactory<Job>` (or
`TransientActionFactory<AbstractProject>` if required) instead. This
gets called every time `getAllActions` is called, without caching.
This means your implementation must have no measurable overhead, of
course.

Thanks for the tip. There should be no measurable overhead imposed by the action creation. I'll give this a try and report back later...

Finally I managed to try the TransientActionFactory<AbstractProject> approach and it works indeed. Thank you once more.
