Resolved: Makefile not updating when dependency changed

all: ./data/for_analysis.csv ./data/tables/*.docx</p>
<p>./data/for_analysis.csv : ./src/convert-xls-to-gold-standard.py ./data/ED-TRAUMA-DELTA-STUDY_3_2019_total.xlsx<br />
    python3 $< --rawDataPath $(word 2,$^) --fieldCodesPath ./data/excel_field_codes.json --processedDataPath ./data/for_analysis.csv --logDir ./logs

./data/tables/%.docx : ./src/make-%.py ./data/for_analysis.csv 
    python3 $< --fieldCodesPath ./data/excel_field_codes.json --processedDataPath ./data/for_analysis.csv --logDir ./logs --tablesDir ./data/tables
[/code]

</p>



When I update <code>./src/make-table-2.py</code>, the second target isn't updated. This behavior doesn't depend on whether <code>./data/table/table-2.docx</code> exists or not.<br> 



When I run <code>make</code> or <code>make all</code> even after updating the <code>py</code> file, I get the message <code>make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.</code><br>

It's not exactly clear from your question what the state of your targets is <em>before</em> you run <code>make</code>.  But:<br> 


<p>[code]all: ./data/for_analysis.csv ./data/tables/*.docx

all: ./data/for_analysis.csv $(patsubst ./src/make-%.py,./data/tables/%.docx,$(wildcard ./src/make-*.py))
