Research direction

No file or test is named in the report. Reproduce the issue with the provided URL and trace the code path that generates the snippet; compare the generated URL with the reporter’s input. Done means the relevant generated snippet preserves the intended URL representation, with a regression test covering this example.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have a URL something like this https://some-website/id=?<<secret>>&ip=<<1234>>, after generating the code snippet the out is like this https://some-website/id=?%3C%3Csecret%3E%3E=&ip=%3C%3C1234%3E%3E so I guess the decoding is not happening here
