"No agent found in pool Default which satisfies the specified demands:

Question

I am getting the below message while I am doing build in my Azure DevOps pipeline. Here I am using Azure DevOps pipelines, VS2017 and Windows 2016.

"No agent found in pool Default which satisfies the specified demands:

msbuild

visualstudio

vstest

Agent.Version -gtVersion 2.161.0 "

This is failing when I'm using three agent jobs in single pipeline. If I run the same tasks in new pipeline it works fine. Could you please suggest the solution?

Answer 1

In my case, we were getting the error and this is what solved it:

I logged on to our build server and restarted these three services:

In our case, it was just a problem with a single pipeline, as the other pipeline we use was running ok. I don't know why one pipeline worked and the other didn't since they both use the same agent, but restarting the services resolved it.
