I am experiencing an issue with my deployment pipeline where the final ‘apply’ stage does not trigger, even though there are no explicit dependencies or conditions set to control its execution. Below is an overview of the template I use to deploy each environment:

Pipeline:

trigger:
  batch: true
  branches:
    include:
      - main

pr:
  branches:
    include:
      - main

stages:
- template: templates/deploy.yml
  parameters:
    environment: Dev

- template: templates/deploy.yml
  parameters:
    environment: Uat

- template: templates/deploy.yml
  parameters:
    environment: Prd

Template:

stages:
- stage: Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}
  displayName: Plan
  condition: always()
  jobs:
  - job: Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}
    displayName: Plan Terraform
    pool: 'selfhosted'
    steps:

    - powershell: |
          # set it to true or false
          Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=anyTfChanges;isOutput=true]true"

      displayName: Detect any Terraform changes
      name: anyTfChanges


- stage: Any_Tf_Changes_${{ parameters.environment }}
  displayName: Terraform Changes
  dependsOn: Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}
  variables:
     anyTfChanges: $[ stageDependencies.Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}.Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}.outputs['anyTfChanges.anyTfChanges'] ]
  condition: and(eq('true', 'true'), eq(dependencies.Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}.outputs['Terraform_Plan_${{ parameters.environment }}.anyTfChanges.anyTfChanges'], 'true'))
 
  jobs:
    - job: Terraform_Changes_${{ parameters.environment }}
      displayName: Detect Terraform Changes
      steps:
      - checkout: none
      - powershell: |
          Write-Host "hello world"
        displayName: Terraform changes detected

- stage: Terraform_Apply_${{ parameters.environment }}
  displayName: Apply ${{ parameters.environment }}
  jobs:
  - deployment: Apply
    environment: ${{ parameters.environmentDisplayName }}
    displayName: Apply Terraform
    pool: 'selfhosted'
    strategy:
      runOnce:
        deploy:
          steps:
          - checkout: self
          - script: |
              Write-Host "hello world"

Despite the configuration, the last ‘apply’ stage does not run in last prd stages:

Does anyone know why this might be happening or what I might be missing in the configuration that prevents this stage from running?

Thanks in advance for any help or insights!
