Why is Rsync failing to sync a specific folder?

We are using rsync when syncing to our dev server on GCP. Recently ive noticed that it does not sync some of our files in a specific folder. The others work well like before.

This is how our trigger looks like: First one is working

rsync -aqe ssh \
    --no-g \
    --no-p \
    --delete \
    --force \
    --dirs \
    --perms \
    --no-owner \
    --no-group \
    --exclude-from="/opt/projects/puppet/devtools/sync_script/support_files/sync_web.exclude" \
    --log-file="/tmp/rsync.log" \
    /opt/projects/web/src/ \
    "${DEV_IP}":/var/www/src/

Not working example:

rsync -aqe ssh \
    --no-g \
    --no-p \
    --delete \
    --force \
    --dirs \
    --perms \
    --no-owner \
    --no-group \
    --exclude-from="/opt/projects/puppet/devtools/sync_script/support_files/sync_web.exclude" \
    --log-file="/tmp/rsync.log" \
    /opt/projects/web/ \
    "${DEV_IP}":/var/www/

So when we specifinc that folder it works. But if use one level up from it thoose files will not be synced.

In my opinion, it is best to turn off the -q option, which would indicate if there is an error. In case there is no error you can always try to debug with

-v, --verbose               increase verbosity
    --info=FLAGS            fine-grained informational verbosity
    --debug=FLAGS           fine-grained debug verbosity

you can also check the rsync.log log file.
