Full Deployment is Triggered when using dotenv files instead of single file[Custom label]

[pjha06]

when i run the below command to deploy customlabels it triggers full deployment of all components under force-app/main/default folder
dotenv -e .envINT -e .envQA sf project deploy start --target-org Whpnarcsint --source-dir force-app\main\default\labels\CustomLabels.labels-meta.xml

Please find attached ZIP file containing metadata where replacements will be done,sfdx-project.jsona nd .env files

consolidatedfiles.zip

Also if you could help me with some videos or materials to test the String replacements without actually doing deployment.

Hello @pjha06 👋 It looks like you didn't include the full Salesforce CLI version information in your issue.
Please provide the output of version --verbose --json for the CLI you're using (sf or sfdx).

A few more things to check:

• Make sure you've provided detailed steps to reproduce your issue.
  • A repository that clearly demonstrates the bug is ideal.
• Make sure you've installed the latest version of Salesforce CLI. (docs)
  • Better yet, try the rc or nightly versions. (docs)
• Try running the doctor command to diagnose common issues.
• Search GitHub for existing related issues.

Thank you!

hi @pjha06 - I'm unsure about why it would deploy more than what was specified in the filepath, but for testing string replacements, see this and specifically Test String Replacements towards the bottom
