All multiple variables returns true

[pbdeguzman]

Hi, I'm working in an Android project (Java), where I created an Azure Pipeline that can generate an AAR files. The structure of the project is modular where in one repo, there are multiple modules/directories for each library. Now, some libraries have dependencies to another. For example, Display module has dependencies on Platform module. Now, I want my Pipeline to detect that if there are changes in both directory, the Platform module should build first before the Display module.

Here's my YAML file:

I also added an script to check the variables value:

Now, to test my pipeline. I only commit changes from Display module. But in the result, all the variables returns true.

Am I missing something with my YAML script?

Thanks,
Patrick

@pbdeguzman im not sure i can trust this yet, but iv seen the same issue on cloud build agents and, if i do this it seems to work

fetchDept: 10

Could you test and se if you get same result as me?

@pbdeguzman I seem to be able to reproduce it, the cut of seems to be 4, if i have fetchDept > 4 || fetchDept == 0 its ok
1,2,3,4 it Azure devops will checkout all files as changed.

i belive the fetchDept is 1 for default if none set in azure pipes

Hi @glennwiz, I tried your suggestion using fetchDept: 10 and it works perfectly. I try running different testing now. Thanks you so much!

Hi @glennwiz, is there a chance to fetch only the latest commit changes?

I noticed that when my Pipeline fails (even with a failed single job) and re-run again, the Changed files extension fetches the previous commits and returns true value for all my variables again.
