Question

A developer uses Copilot agent mode in VS Code to implement a new feature that spans several files. After the agent generates the changes and runs the build task, the compiler reports errors. What does agent mode do next as part of its normal workflow?

Accepted Answer

It automatically reads the build/test output, determines what went wrong, and iterates by editing the code again until the task succeeds or it needs your input

Answer

It discards all generated changes and reverts the working tree to the last commit so you can start over

Answer

It stops immediately and requires you to manually fix each compiler error before it can continue

Answer

It opens a Copilot Edits working set and asks you to select which files should be corrected
