hello there
I try to get drone working for my multi project repository. I have the following structure:
/.drone.yml
/frontend/ \< everything angular… build with npm
/backend/ \> everything java… build with gradle
Read the documentation but didn’t find anything about setting the directory for a pipeline.
My current .drone.yml isn’t working:
```
kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: backend
steps:
- name: build
image: gradle:jdk11
commands:
- gradle assemble
- gradle check
```
I get the following error: Task ‘assemble’ not found in root project. Which make sense, because it’s not executing the command in /backend
When /backend works, I will add frontend as new pipeline

Hello Mav,
Could you please check if this extension [GitHub - bitsbeats/drone-tree-config: Drone helper for mono repositories.](https://github.com/bitsbeats/drone-tree-config) will help, so that you can have multiple yml file within /backend and /frontend project directory.
You may also want to have a look [Report files changed to limit testing scope · Issue #1021 · drone/drone · GitHub](https://github.com/drone/drone/issues/1021) for more information.
Let us know if this helps.
