Changes can be filtered to not trigger a build; if all the files within a change match the specified path, the build is filtered.
For example, with a Filter of "
//depot/main/tests
":
Case A (change will be filtered):
Files:
//depot/main/tests/index.xml
//depot/main/tests/001/test.xml
//depot/main/tests/002/test.xml
Case B (change will not be filtered, as build.xml is outside of the filter):
Files:
//depot/main/src/build.xml
//depot/main/tests/004/test.xml
//depot/main/tests/005/test.xml
