What happened?

When applying a .Net configuration transformation from a file in the same path as another no transformation occurs

Works = api\web.development.config => web.config Works = web.config => api\web.development.config Fails = api\web.development.config => api\web.config (Output = The transform pattern "api\web.Development.config => api\web.config" was not performed as no matching files could be found)

Reproduction

1. Create a package copying the folder structure above (web.config, api/web.config and api\web.development.config.
2. Apply a .Net configuration transformation with the following rules api\web.development.config => web.config, web.config => api\web.development.config and api\web.development.config => api\web.config
3. Set Octopus.Action.Package.EnableDiagnosticsConfigTransformationLogging variable to true for details file matching

Workaround

None, attempting to use wildcards, etc didn't resolve this issue.

Customer has recently experienced this, worked around this by moving transform file to base folder. Internal ticket link
