Hello, I have a project which is a mono repo, and I intend to run pipelines based on the changes in specific directory. I am using circleci pathfiltering orb. but when I make these changes in one directory instead of workflow for that directory to run, it runs all the workflows . here is my config below;

am I doing something wrong? please I need help, if you need anymore information I will be happy to provide it.

this is my continue_config.yml

version: 2.1

parameters:
  run-test2-workflow:
    type: boolean
    default: false
  run-eiotc-workflow:
    type: boolean
    default: false


orbs:
  sonarcloud: sonarsource/sonarcloud@1.0.3
  snyk: snyk/snyk@1.4.0

jobs:
  unit-test:
    docker:
      - image: ubuntu:20.04
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Pytest(unit-test)
          command: |
            echo "this is unit test for ingress"

          
  engine_job:
    docker:
    - image: ubuntu:20.04
    steps:
      - run:
          name: is this engine_job
          command: |
            echo "yes this is engine"      

workflows:
   run-eiotc-workflow:
    when: << pipeline.parameters.run-eiotc-workflow >>
    jobs:
      - engine_job
   run-test2-workflow:
    when: << pipeline.parameters.run-test2-workflow >>]
    jobs:
      - unit-test

and this is my config.yml below;

version: 2.1

setup: true

orbs:
  path-filtering: circleci/path-filtering@1.0.0

workflows:
  setup-workflow:
    jobs:
      - path-filtering/filter:
          base-revision: develop 
          config-path: .circleci/continue_config.yml
          mapping: |
            eiotc_api/.* run-eiotc-workflow true
            test2/.* run-test2-workflow true

my directory structure below;

.circleci/
-config.yml
-continue_config.yml
eiotc_api/
- lots of directories and files
test2/
- text.txt

I finally got it to work, i realise it was my mistake all along, and it was a syntax issue from my workflows configuration, the “When” conditional has an unnecessary “]” at the end, I guess that’s why it always triggered all the workflows because of that. because when I corrected it, it started working fine. but somehow circleci didn’t detect this as a syntax error, or yaml error. maybe that could be looked into
