Having the "&" character in the file path breaks DB Connections for Flyway Desktop

Using Flyway Desktop Community version 7.6.4 I was able to create a project without issues, push and pull changes to the database without issues.  However when I attempted to change the SQL database connection information or to update the compared data for certain tables in the database I was met with a parsing error:

Failed to parse flyway error json. This may be because the output was malformed.: Parsing error:
'T' is an invalid start of a value. LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0.
Flyway output:
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.
The system cannot find the path specified.

'T' is an invalid start of a value. LineNumber: 0 | BytePositionInLine: 0.
Flyway output:

I found this was due to my file explorer path for the flyway.toml contained and "&" character in one of the folder names.  I've updated the character to "_" and it appears to be fine now.
