Azure DevOps release pipeline with special characters in a secret variable

by

I have an Azure Devops pipeline in UI and has a secret variable with special characters like this, my_pwd = N$D'”w(T+.,?&wi{;]

I am using the above secret variable in one of the override parameters like this “$(my_pwd)”

The pipeline has been failing with an error,
Unable to parse JSON error due to special characters.

How do I make it work?

  • Please can someone advise. Thanks for your help in advance

    – 

  • share your complete pipeline details, if using YAML paste the code as text in your question, if using classic UI paste a screenshot of it. Also add the complete details of the error you are getting

  • Hi @Sibtain, I am using classic UI and using the secret variable in one of the override parameters. It’s failing as there are special characters in the variable. How do I pass special characters in the variable?

  • Can you please edit your post and tell all the relevant details?
