Core's Toolbar module doesn't display a "Dashboard" link after install

Created on 17 April 2025, 30 days ago

Problem/Motivation

When you first install the Dashboard module, the "Dashboard" link in the Core's Toolbar is not displayed. This can be confusing for people who are new to the module.

Flushing caches fixes it.

Steps to reproduce

Download drupal-11.1.6 and dashboard-2.0.0 - I did this by running...

git clone --branch 2.x https://git.drupalcode.org/project/dashboard.git
cd dashboard
ddev config --project-type=drupal --docroot=web --php-version=8.3 --corepack-enable --project-name=dashboard
ddev start
ddev poser
ddev symlink-project
ddev config --update
ddev restart
ddev launch

Install Drupal using the Standard install profile.
Install dashboard from the Extend page at /admin/modules.
- Expected behavior: A "Dashboard" link appears in the "Manage" section of the Toolbar
- Actual behavior: The Toolbar is unchanged
Go to /admin/config/development/performance. Click the "Clear all caches" button
- Note that after the cache is cleared, a "Dashboard" "Dashboard" link appears in the "Manage" section of the Toolbar

Is this talking about the Dashboard block that gets added? I see it gets added in Drupal CMS, but on a separate site I'm using that is just Drupal Core I installed the Dashboard module and the Dashboard block isn't available to be placed into the navigation area. I'm on Drupal 10, does that matter?
