So I have liquibase scripts for my spring boot application (3.3.8) liquibase 4.27.0 It works if files in resource directory.

But my pipeline takes liquibase scripts from root directory /pipeline/dbscripts/liquibase and execute in before deploy.

So, for local development I set path to scripts

spring:
  liquibase:
    enabled: true
    change-log: file:./pipeline/dbscripts/liquibase/db.changelog-master.yaml

But now I get exception:

Caused by: liquibase.exception.UnexpectedLiquibaseException: Could not determine path for 
file:/home/<userDir>/IdeaProjects/project/pipeline/dbscripts/liquibase/changelog/2025/03/202503031455-create-table.yaml

File exists in directory

====

Found extra information

If main chanelog with includeAll => exception

databaseChangeLog:
  - includeAll:
      path: ./changelog
      relativeToChangelogFile: true
  

If it contain only include. it works

databaseChangeLog:
  - include:
      file: ./changelog/2025/03/202503031455-create-table.yaml
      relativeToChangelogFile: true

I don't believe Liquibase will recurse through a directory structure to look for changelogs includeAll. Since the changelog you are referencing is in ./changelog/2025/03. I would try switching the specification in ./pipeline/dbscripts/liquibase/db.changelog-master.yaml from:

databaseChangeLog:
  - includeAll:
      path: ./changelog
      relativeToChangelogFile: true

to:

databaseChangeLog:
  - includeAll:
      path: ./changelog/2025/03 // <=full relative path to file
      relativeToChangelogFile: true
