Hm... this is weird. Logically the change makes fully sense. But it causes a lot tests to fail. Will try to investigate the reason for this.

I guess the reason is this part:

Before the method was returning null, causing the events to be reloaded, once an event was posted. So guess in the tests the plugin is loaded too early and not loaded again, causing the events not to be registered again.

I guess we need to move the isInstalled check into each event method and return the event list in any case. Will try changing that.

Thinking more about that, I guess we could actually simply remove the isInstalled check. Plugin hooks should only be loaded for activated plugins nevertheless, and I don't think a plugin can be active, but uninstalled. The check has been added in a very early state of the CustomDimensions plugin (See matomo-org/plugin-CustomDimensions@ddcf327), so it might actually be not needed anymore.

I had a look for a whiel and I reckon this should be now fine to merge since we would install this plugin along with Matomo core. Versus before I think there could have been an issue that the log DB schema changes take some time (minutes, hours,days) to execute meaning it would have been in a state possibly where it's trying to activate and use the plugin but it's not finished installing yet. Then some of the events could have caused issues. This should no longer be an issue though since now the installation is always quick.

LGTM 👍
