How to trigger runs in TFE/TFC only from the root directory using a VCS connection

Introduction
When we create a workspace using a Version Control Workflow, the workspace can be configured to trigger runs only from the root directory and when there is a change to a non-root directory, Terraform will not trigger a run.

Prerequisites

• Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise v202209-1
  
  

Use Case
The workspace configuration should be done like this:

• Go to your desired Workspace in TFE/TFC > Settings > Version Control.

• Under Workspace Settings > setup Terraform Working Directory to .

• Under Run Triggers > select Only trigger runs when files in specified paths change > under Syntax setup Pattern to ./* and click Add pattern
  

• Under Pull Requests untick [] Automatic speculative plans
