Ampersand (&) in path for vimtex-compile

[HuidaeCho]

Description

When there is an ampersand (&) in the file path either in the directory or filename, vimtex-compile fails to open the compiled PDF in okular. For example, compiling /home/user/tmp/a & b/test.tex gives this error message "Could not open file:///home/user/tmp/a @pdf b/test.pdf%23src:1/home/user/tmp/a @pdf b/test.tex"

Steps to reproduce

1. vim "a&b.tex"
2. Hit \ll to compile the file

a&b.tex

\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
Hello world!
\end{document}

Expected behavior

Compile the file and open PDF in okular without an error.

Actual behavior

Compile the file, but fail to open PDF.

Do you use a latexmkrc file?
