WIndows Gitlab-runner: Failed to requeue the runner

Question

I have a pipeline with 2 jobs .

I start user as super user on windows with debug mode and received next output:

ERROR: Job failed: exit status 1

If I restart the runner the first job became succesefull, but the secound one fails again with very similiar error.

The git version is git version 2.25.1.windows.1

Is there any workaround for this issue? If downgrade of runner could help me?

Answer 1

So the problem was that I had a running process with a location in my repository. First, I kill it manually and the job started to work properly. Then I deleted this package at all from my solution and started to use the same file but from outside of the repository.

It was VBCSCompiler.exe file.

To try, you can first kill it manually from runner or by the cmd command:

 tasklist | find /i "VBCSCompiler.exe" && taskkill /im VBCSCompiler.exe /F \|| echo process "VBCSCompiler.exe" not running.

Then I delete the nuget package Microsoft.Net.Compilers.Toolset, therefore this process path was changed to the

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\BuildTools\\MSBuild\\Current\\Bin\\Roslyn
