"Ignored Build Step" > "Only build if there are changes in a folder" not working

[alexhollender]

I have two different Vercel projects that are both connected to the same monorepo. The two relevant folders (which are also the Root Directories for each project) are:

1. ./site
2. ./kitchen

For both of them I have configured Ignored Build Step > Only build if there are changes in a folder, with the respective commands:

1. git diff HEAD^ HEAD --quiet – ./site
2. git diff HEAD^ HEAD --quiet – ./kitchen

When I commit changes to either folder both projects rebuild. I would expect that only the relevant project would build.

My repo is not currently set up with Workspace, so I can’t use the Skip deployments when there are no changes to the root directory or its dependencies. feature.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex

Hey @alexhollender. I wasn’t able to replicate this behavior with my test app. Can you share a screenshot of the monorepo folder structure? If you’re able to share the public repo or a minimal reproducible example, that’s even better.

Hey @amyegan, thanks for replying. Here is a screenshot of the folder structure. In case it is helpful to know, both of the relevant folders have their own package.json files.
