Pug (Jade) templating engine is malforming my string

If I create a test function on my backend such as :

function testFunction(){

  return 'https://test.com/?test=erhc0m24t0v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.groupon.com%2Fdeals%2Fbienestar'

}

Then I pass it to the view when it is rendered, and from within the view I call:

script.
      console.log('#{testFunction()}')

It wrecks my string by adding what I believe is a url encoded space and a semicolon:

https://test.com/?test=erhc0m24t0v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.groupon.com%2Fdeals%2Fbienestar

Whereas expected output is simply:

https://test.com/?test=erhc0m24t0v&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.groupon.com%2Fdeals%2Fbienestar

What is causing this to happen? Thanks

You are using the escaped string interpolation #{
Try using the unescaped string interpolation !{
