[JIRA] (JENKINS-38085) Settings not appearing in the sidebar

Title: Message Title

Steven G Brown commented on JENKINS-38085   Re: Settings not appearing in the sidebar Jenkins serves the script with this URL: https://my.jenkins.host/extensionList/hudson.console.ConsoleAnnotatorFactory/hudson.plugins.timestamper.annotator.TimestampAnnotatorFactory2/script.js and it expires after a day. This is a problem for plugins because the script from the previous version might still be cached. The only way this URL can be changed within the plugin is to rename the TimestampAnnotatorFactory2 class to something else. That's what I plan to do the next time the script changes. Other options: Redirect to another URL using a relative path. This is what Timestamper 1.8.5 does, and the new URL includes the plugin version so that upgrading or downgrading the plugin causes the script to be re-downloaded. Now we know that it doesn't work on your system. Redirect to another URL using an absolute path. However, if using a reverse proxy, it must be configured properly or the settings will not appear. (See Jenkins.getRootUrlFromRequest.) I'd rather pick another option that is not sensitive to how the proxy is configured. Turn off the caching altogether by overridding ConsoleAnnotatorFactory.doScriptJs. I considered this, but it seems unfortunate to have the script downloaded every time. Ultimately, the best solution would be to have Jenkins include the plugin version or a timestamp in the URL.
