build started with zero files modified
Completed
I have a project with GIT repository and a trigger.
The build is supposed to start only when files of certain type are modified.
Occasionally I see build started with zero files modified.
Why is that? How to fix it?

Hi Mike,
I tried reproducing your issue on 2019.1.4, but it works fine in my test setup. Though I might be missing some part of the setup, which prevents me from reproducing the issue. Does your build have any VCS Checkout Rules configured?
Thanks Mikhail for your reply.
No I don't have anything interesting in VCS Checkout Rules.
It simply runs on master branch.
Please see attachment.
Any other suggestions you may have?
Hi Mike,
May I please ask you to provide me with a screenshot of Build Configuration Home -> Version Control Settings -> Edit Checkout rules as displayed below:
Sure Mikhail, please see screenshot. It is empty :)
Hi Mike, I was able to reproduce a similar behaviour on a merge commit. By any chance, was it a merge commit in your case?
Yes Mikhail, it is a merge commit. It is a merge from branch back to master.
So what can we do about it?
Is it a bug?
Is there a workaround?
Hi Mike,
Yes, this is a bug: you can track it here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-24747
There's also a workaround described in: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-24747#focus=streamItem-27-814689.0-0
Apologies for the inconvenience.
