yarn translate : The system cannot find the file specified.

Describe the bug
package.json has this script:

"translate": "wp-pot --src '**/**/**/*.php' --dest-file 'languages/test-plugin.pot' --package 'test-plugin' --domain 'test-plugin' --last-translator 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>' --team 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>' --bug-report 'testplugin.com'"

When i run yarn translate i get the following error:

yarn run v1.22.19
$ wp-pot --src '**/**/**/*.php' --dest-file 'languages/test-plugin.pot' --package 'test-plugin' --domain 'test-plugin' --last-translator 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>' --team 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>' --bug-report 'testplugin.com'
The system cannot find the file specified.
error Command failed with exit code 1.

To Reproduce
run yarn translate (wp-pot)

This will throw the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
error Command failed with exit code 1.

@brandonkramer Hi, can you help ?

[IonTulbure]

Temporary workaround:

Install globally wp-pot-cli
npm install --global wp-pot-cli

Then from the command line run
wp-pot --src '**/**/**/*.php' --dest-file 'languages/test-plugin.pot'

I found the "issue" :

In package.json if we remove options:
--last-translator 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>' &
--team 'Test Plugin <info@testplugin.com>'

Script without the two options above will run with no errors.
"translate": "wp-pot --src '**/**/**/*.php' --dest-file 'languages/test-plugin.pot' --package 'test-plugin' --domain 'test-plugin' --bug-report 'testplugin.com'"

yarn translate works now.

This is strange, does anyone the reason ?

A deeper dive showed that email in translate options is causing the error. Without <email@test-plugin.com> in --team & last-translator options script will be executed.

translate": "wp-pot --src '**/**/**/*.php' --dest-file 'languages/test-plugin.pot' --package 'test-plugin' --domain 'test-plugin' --bug-report 'testplugin.com' --team 'Test Plugin' --lastTranslator 'Test Plugin'"
