OD DNR script based on source folder

Can you set up an OD configuration file that will only execute a script upon the successful transfer of a file from a specific folder on the base server? But not run the script if a transfer occurs from the same branch but not the specific source folder? Or would that need to be handled outside the OD config file?

thinking out loud here. would using a second definition in the config file that specified the folder location and then had a dnr script associated with that definition be the way to go?

You could do it with two definitions (and thus two execDeploymentTask elements) using filters and such, but you'd want to test out all the different scenarios to make sure it works the way you want.

Otherwise, you'd need two distinct deployment configuration files and a pre-deployment wrapper script that determines which deployment should get called: the one for the specific branch / folder with the DNR, or the more generic one.

Or you could pass the source path into your script and check the path there.

That's actually probably a simpler / cleaner solution. Sure you fire off a DNR when you don't need to most of the time, but the code could easily exit quickly if the path of the deployed file(s) doesn't match what needs to be processed.

I'm [almost] ashamed I didn't think of that :-)
