changed-files: [BUG] `files_ignore` isn't respected

Yes, you are spot on

One small doubt, when a PR is created to dev branch from a feature branch: setting since_last_remote_commit to true gets the changed files from the commit on feature branch and compares with the commit on dev branch right (for the first time)? And for the subsequent commits, it checks using previous commits on the feature branch. Did I understand this correctly?

No worries, was a fun debugging session.

Thank you. Also Apologies for incorrectly filing this as a bug.

For checking the commit you might want to use since_last_remote_commit

      - name: Get all script files that have changed
        id: changed-files
        uses: tj-actions/changed-files@v37
        with:
           since_last_remote_commit: true
           ...

Sure. Thanks a lot for the quick response!

Here’s the log. Didn’t include changed-files as it’s too long. This is the workflow file.
