I’ve tried to follow the many different examples in ignoring builds based on changes to certain folders and I don’t seem to be able to create a consistent experience.
It sometimes cancels correctly, sometimes doesn’t and I can’t figure out whats is causing either of them.
Some context we are a Design System monorepo and the root directory is the root of the repo because we use the latest local versions of packages to build our assets with.
What I want to be able to do is say “only do a preview deploy when we have changes in two directories that are different than in the main branch”. I have tried different combinations of the following.
[context.deploy-preview]
# only do a preview Preformatted text deply when there is a website change
ignore = "git diff --quiet main HEAD -- packages/paste-website packages/paste-theme-designer"
I’ve tried git diff --quiet HEAD^ HEAD sub_dir/
from this page File-based configuration | Netlify Docs and the blog How to Ignore Builds - Optimize your Netlify Build Times. Neither work successfully all the time. Sometimes it’s successful in detecting that there was no changes and cancels the builds, other times it just builds a deplopyment regardless
What am I doing wrong?
