Unable to move to next step after compiling SSAS solution using Devenv.com

[ganeytd]

Description

Able to compile SSAS solution using Devenv.com, but task does not recognize job is done and waits indefinitely. I suspect that even though the command does not launch the IDE, the SSAS Extension is asking for user feedback like this:

I have reported this to the SSAS Extension, but I also think that the hosted agents should be configured to turn off feedback to avoid these issues as documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/feedback-survey-policies?view=visualstudio

Assuming I am correct about what prevents the job from progressing to the next step.

Platforms affected

• macOS 15
• macOS 15 Arm64

Image version and build link

Image version: 20251216.149.1

Is it regression?

Worked on image version: 20250921.36.1

Expected behavior

When compilation completes, the job proceeds to the next step.

Actual behavior

When compilation completes, the job proceeds to hang until timeout is reached.

Repro steps

Attempt to compile a SSAS solution via Devenv.com

Example command:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Devenv.com" "SSAS.sln" /ReBuild Development

Compilation will complete, but task will not end and will eventually timeout based on the pipeline's timeout setting.

Hey @ganeytd!

We'll check if this is true and if the workaround is applicable and come back.
