Azure-devops-docs: Path Filter: how do you say every .md file in the /src folder

[TravisEz13]

/src/*.md only works for files directly in the /src folder. How do you say every .md file in any subfolder under /src?

Does /src/**/*.md work?

[TravisEz13]

I got an answer that currently the wildcard must be at the end (they answered me directly.)

[MattMencel]

So is the example by @GoshaNick the correct syntax or is there a different way to do it? Would this exclude building for any .md file in the repository?

    exclude:
      - '**/*.md'

[TravisEz13]

Actually, I think there needs to be a functional bug to add this functionality first.

they support

exclude:
   - 'markdown/*'

but no wildcards except at the very end currently.

[TravisEz13]

please fix this. Actually I would love the feature to work as documented.

[vtbassmatt]

@DavidStaheli can you take a look at this (both docs and how it works) and make sure we have the right feature here?

[davidstaheli]

Yes, we should add support for better matching, possibly wildcards anywhere, glob patterns, regex, etc.
(Also tracked internally by Microsoft as feature # 1486320.)

It looks like this is an issue with the product itself, rather than an issue with the documentation. To make sure it gets in front of the right people, please submit your bug if you haven't already.

[TravisEz13]

Docs should still be updated to reflect what is allowed

[TravisEz13]

looks like the docs have been updated.

Thanks for checking and letting us know, @TravisEz13 !
