Azure DevOps branch policy path filter to detect changes in the project root folder

I have a path structure like /a/b.



I want to enforce branch policies based on which files have changed as follows:



Policy 1. When a file has changed in the root folder or folder a.



Policy 2. When no files have changed in the root folder or folder a.



How can I do this with path filters?



(I tried "./*;./a/*" and "./*.*;./a/*.*" but it seems like the wildcards match files at any level. ie. It would apply even if there was a file change in folder b.)

  • Why don't you try only /a/* for policy 1?
