Description

When invoking an action programmatically, it's not possible to specify what ProjectConfiguration the action should use. This may mean the action is not available at all (if defined specifically in a certain Configuration), or may be invoked differently - the active configuration is always used. The only chance is to change the active configuration - which changes the project's view for everyone, not just for the action being invoked.

Likewise setting the active configuration back after action completes is not a good idea, since the config may flip back and forth unexpectedly for the user.

 

Note: Gradle does not support Configurations atm.
