SonarCloud Never starts build

Template for a good new topic, formatted with Markdown:

• ALM used (GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud, Azure DevOps) - AzureDevOps

• CI system used (Bitbucket Cloud, Azure DevOps, Travis CI, Circle CI - AzureDevOps

• Scanner command used when applicable (private details masked)

• Languages of the repository - .Net / C#

• Error observed (wrap logs/code around with triple quotes ``` for proper formatting)
  The pipeline never downloads the code.
  Screen just displays this -

  The agent request is not running because all potential agents are running other requests. Current

If I comment out the following line everything works

• task: SonarCloudAnalyze@1

Hey there.

This can happen if there are no agents that meet the demands of your build (for example: SonarCloud analysis requires java to be a capability of the build agent).

Are these self-hosted build agents?

We found out what the issue was. The private agent didn’t have Java installed. Unfortunately, no error was displayed instead just a timeout. Also, the build steps that preceded the scan weren’t even invoked.

This was a new agent and wasn’t configured properly.

Thank you for the response.
