includeDependencies.always does not work

service: users-service-${self:custom.clientName}

package:
  individually: true # Create an optimized package for our functions
  excludeDevDependencies: false

# Load serverless.common.yml
custom: ${file(../serverless.common.yml):custom}  <-- custom from serverless.common.yml file

serverless.common.yml

custom:
  includeDependencies:
    always:
      - "libs/**"

Structure:
| - libs/
| -- dynamodb/
| --- adapter.js
| -- aws-sdk.js
|
| - users-service/
| -- serverless.yml
|
| - serverless.common.yml

There is no error. includeDependencies.always does not include directory. Native package.include works.

I check that by running serverless package

False alarm. 🗡️

I had to declare relative path for serverless.yml file (not serverless.common.yml)

custom:
  includeDependencies:
    always:
      - "../libs/**"
