Looks like a path escaping issue.

The workaround for now would be to use a path that doesn't have an & in it.

@stuartmorgan
thanks for your help.
I used to run my app from the same path ,Is this new (path escaping issue)?

[stuartmorgan-g]

Re-opening, since this is still a bug even if there is a workaround.
