Watch paths are ignored

Hey there. I am deploying two apps from a monorepo and don't want to rebuild both when only one is updated. I've had this issue for a while and played around with every type of syntax for the watch paths and none seem to work, unfortunately. My project setup:

/apps
  - /web
  - /api
/packages
  - /db

/apps
  - /web
  - /api
/packages
  - /db

I want to build both if any file in any packages folder was changes, but only deploy the single app if any file in either one was changed. Here's my current watch paths setup, which again, doesn't work. Both apps are still built, even if /apps/api only had changes. I've tried so many variations so now I'm here asking if I'm doing something wrong, or if there's a bug here. /apps/api project

/apps/api/**
/packages/**
!/apps/web/**

/apps/api/**
/packages/**
!/apps/web/**

/apps/web project

/apps/web/**
/packages/**
!/apps/api/**

/apps/web/**
/packages/**
!/apps/api/**

I do, yeah. That may be it. Will give it a go

Jan Henning•3mo ago

Works! Thank you 🙂 No clue why I had that enabled in the first place

Brody•3mo ago

maybe you needed to use the private network during build or just wanted to try out a fancy new feature haha either way, we already had a ticket open for this and i have added this thread to that ticket so i will update you when its fixed

Jan Henning•3mo ago
