Unable to download LATEST artifact with rt download --spec with 1.51.0 and 1.51.1

[trdyer]

Describe the bug
When trying to pass a AQL spec file to download the latest versions of artifacts for multiple builds I am unable to use the LATEST parameter to get the most recent build. For instance

{
    "files": [{
        "pattern": "*",
        "build": "repo-a/main/LATEST",
        "target": "./",
        "flat": "true"
    }, {
        "pattern": "*",
        "build": "repo-b/main/LATEST",
        "target": "./",
        "flat": "true"
    }, {
        "pattern": "*",
        "build": "repo-c/main/LATEST",
        "target": "./",
        "flat": "true"
    }, {
      "pattern": "*",
      "build": "repo-d/LATEST",
      "target": "./",
      "flat": "false"
    }]
}

To Reproduce
One thing I have noticed is that repo-a,b,c all have extraneous module ID's in the build as referenced in #1218 , and repo-d does not.

The artifacts for repo-d are successfully downloaded.

Expected behavior
ALL artifacts are downloaded based on the AQL search.

Versions

• JFrog CLI version: 1.51.0
• JFrog CLI operating system: OSX 11.4
• Artifactory Version: SaaS

Additional context
This issue does not exist in 1.50.2

This appears to still be the case with version 2.3.0 and Github Action: jfrog/setup-jfrog-cli@v2

@trdyer.
Thanks for reporting this issue.
It appears that the problem occurs when using LATEST parameter with build name that contains Slash (/) character.
Behind the scenes, we escape slashes with %2F encoding, but it appears that AQL has a problem resolving the % character so the query fails to provide.
Our apologies for the inconvenience caused by this bug.
Resolving this issue requires changes on both Artifactory and JFrog CLI.
We will share an update here once the fix is released.

We opened https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/RTFACT-25808 to track the required fix on Artifactory’s side.

@sverdlov93 It's been a year. Is there any update on this bug?

[daynemay]

Can confirm still seeing this in 2.36.1

@sverdlov93 @asafgabai @RobiNino What's the holdup here? The bug has been blocking our ability to upgrade beyond v1.50.2, including to your v2 CLI. You need to fix it.

Thanks @rittneje.
We have re-added this task into our tasks backlog. We'll share an update here once progress is made.

Still isn't fixed. At 2.59.1 now.
