My man, I got the same issue, posted this
Path-filtering - return success if no job was run - still waiting for a response
and added comment here Advanced Logic in Config - #3 by Star
The latter is for the fact in case we cannot persist the previous build, then just want to run “echo success” or something.
They take very long to respond on this forum, but thumbs up for the question, i thought i was the only one.
