Folder views getting destroyed when seed job is run every time

Using Jenkins
1

Hello Guys

Is there a way to set views of a present folder to a newly created folder. Im trying the below But it is giving an error in Jenkins 2.332.1.

org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/var/jenkins/home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.332.1.jar!/hudson/model/View/index.jelly:42:43: st:include org.apache.commons.jelly.JellyTagException: jar:file:/var/jenkins/home/war/WEB-INF/lib/jenkins-core-2.332.1.jar!/lib/hudson/projectView.jelly:66:24: <d:invokeBody> class java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList cannot be cast to class hudson.model.View (java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList is in module java.base of loader ‘bootstrap’; hudson.model.View is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppClassLoader @b7c4869)

My code -

 com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder folder = Jenkins.instance.getItem(folderName)
 com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.views.DefaultFolderViewHolder folderView = folder.getFolderViews()

 folderViewList = folderView.getViews()
 String viewXml = Items.XSTREAM2.toXML(folderViewList)
 folderViewNode = new XmlParser().parseText(viewXml)

folder(folderName) {
 configure { folder ->
        folder / folderViews / 'views' << folderViewNode
  }
}

The data in the folderViewNode is something like this -

<java.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteArrayList>
  <hudson.model.AllView>
    <owner class="com.cloudbees.hudson.plugins.folder.Folder" plugin="cloudbees-folder@6.14">

I believe this means your running a plugin too old for your Jenkins version. Try updating your plugins

Hello @halkeye. Im still getting the same error after updating it to the latest plugins version. Can you tell me what are the possible ways to restore folder views after creating a folder again ?
