Terragrunt `find --filter` not working in `1.1.5`

Author: AgustinSabalzaCreated Sep 18, 2026Updated Sep 18, 2026

Describe the bug

The command terragrunt find --filter "[origin/main...HEAD]" produces no output when only an .hcl file (or multiple) is modified. However, the change is successfully detected if any non-.hcl file (e.g., README.md) is modified alongside it.

Command output when only an .hcl file is modified:
