[Netlify-cli] Netlify deploy throwing `We've detected multiple sites inside your repository` even after passing netlify_site_id param in CircleCI job

I am trying to add a CircleCI integration to my simple website. While trying to add automation for a preview link in the CI job, after running netlify deploy --site "${NETLIFY_SITE_ID}" --context deploy-preview I am seeing this prompt in the CI workflow.

We've detected multiple sites inside your repository

Obviously, I cannot select any option in the CI workflow. So I need to select the site beforehand. That’s why I supplied --site option in the command above.
The project has 3 separate packages as shown above and I want to deploy only vuepress-site. I copied the NETLIFY_SITE_ID for vuepress-site and used it in the CI workflow.
I can confirm that NETLIFY_SITE_ID exists in the env variable and is accessible. I also have NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN in my CI environment variable.

I have also tried multiple things like running the above command as netlify deploy --dir packages/@abc/vuepress-site/dist --context deploy-preview and also netlify deploy --site packages/@abc/vuepress-site --context deploy-preview but to no avail. :frowning:

What am I missing here?

I was able to make it work. Had to modify the command to -
netlify deploy --filter @abc/vuepress-site :man_facepalming:
