I require something from the output of a running release task in order for it to complete (an authenticate code). But the console is now not updating. All I get is "Waiting for console output from an agent..."
This happens on both our self-hosted agents (Linux or Windows) and on the Hosted Ubuntu 1604 agent.
The step in question is the standard Kubernetes task: https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/KubernetesV1
This was not always happening.
I have the same issue. After troubleshooting and canceling the task, I noticed that the agent was waiting for a response from the user.
In my case, I was trying to unzip a file where the destination folder already exists with content. So the system was asking the user to replace the destination folder content that's why the agent was waiting.

To rule out the possibility of kubectl awaiting console input (as has been discussed above), you could try
kubectl apply --dry-run=client [other args]
or
kubectl apply --dry-run=server [other args]
This could give you guidance as to how to proceed, perhaps with --force or --overwrite flags if needed.
This was an issue with Microsoft's Azure DevOps Services that has been acknowledged and rectified by Microsoft. This issue was reported as an issue with the "Liveness in Release Management UI".
