Issue Description

I used get command with Kubernetes@1 to output variable for yaml format. When % is included in the output, it is replaced by %25 in the output variable. The same result if the output format is JSON.

I set job level variable DECODE_PERCENTS to true with reference to #14302, but the result didn't change.

The red line should have been 25%, but has been replaced with 25%25.

Error logs

[Insert error from the logs here for a quick overview]

I may be missing my explanation, so I will supplement it. I think this is a issue with ##vso[task.setvariable] which set output variable.

Please look at the 6_kubetest.txt from the I attached log file. Of the information retrieved by the kubectl get command, lines 202 and 203 show 25%.

However, in lines 398 and 399 with it set as an output variable, 25% changes to 25%25.

Line 469 shows the ##vso[task.setvariable variable=KubectlOutput;issecret=false;] processed. I can seen that 25% has already changed to 25% 25 in it.

When I display the output variable of task with the echo command, it still stays at 25%25. This can be seen in 7_CmdLine.txt. Please let me know if there are any unclear in my explanation.

Is this the expected behavior of task? If so, is there a workaround for me to get the correct output variable?

The issue was resolved by #17267 - version 1.214.0. So, the issue no longer occurs.
