Flyway 7.7.3 seems to ignore my "callback" - flyway

Question

I am upgrading from Flyway 5.4 to 7.7.3 and ran into some issue.
flyway -teams -url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521/XE "-user=xxx as SYSDBA" -password=xxx -table=flyway_schema_history_app -encoding=utf-8 -baselineOnMigrate=true migrate
(I have the teams edition license)
Flyway gives me the following error message:
**
ERROR: Unable to parse statement in /flyway/sql/incremental/Build_302_Baseline/V302_106__fosprd_INSERT_Master_eg_pocqueue.sql at line 117 col 1. See https://flywaydb.org/documentation/knownparserlimitations for more information: No value provided for variable substitution: &R. Check your configuration. If this is not a SQLPLus variable intended to be substituted (eg. in a string literal), then you will need to add SET DEFINE OFF in the script beforehand.
Caused by: No value provided for variable substitution: &R. Check your configuration. If this is not a SQLPLus variable intended to be substituted (eg. in a string literal), then you will need to add SET DEFINE OFF in the script beforehand.
**
This is caused by a special character "&" in the SQL statement, however, I have made sure the SQL file is using UTF-8 encoding as well as Unix return (LF).
Also, I keep my callbacks under:
bash-5.0$ pwd
/flyway/sql/callbacks
bash-5.0$ ls
afterBaseline.sql afterEachUndo.sql afterMigrateError.sql afterUndo.sql beforeEachUndo.sql
afterBaselineError.sql afterEachUndoError.sql afterRepair.sql afterUndoError.sql beforeMigrate.sql
afterEachMigrate.sql afterMigrate.sql afterRepairError.sql beforeEachMigrate.sql beforeUndo.sql
This used to be able to run on 5.4 with no issue. But it's giving me this error on 7.7.3, anyone can point me to the right direction?
Thanks

This is due to the changes between versions of flyway's SQLPlus support and the fat you have a teams license.
As indicated in the message, this is related to SQLPlus's variable substitution:
https://flywaydb.org/documentation/database/oracle#variable-substitution
If you are not using SQLPlus features, you could try disabling them:
https://flywaydb.org/documentation/configuration/parameters/oracleSqlPlus
but the recommended solution is to place SET DEFINE OFF in the SQL script before the offending ampersand (with the option of reverting that afterwards)
