why can't run pnpm run dev --filter package

[WingDust]

I am in windows 10
use pnpm 7.24.3
run pnpm run dev --filter package get error

 ERR_PNPM_NO_SCRIPT  Missing script: dev
Exception: pnpm exited with 1

but
pnpm --filter package run dev is work

It looks like putting arguments after dev script/command force pnpm to:

1. Search this script in local (current) package
2. To pass --filter pacakge as arguments to this script (as it may be options for dev command).

But if you use filter flag before run command, then it knows that this is pnpm options and run command correctly.
I'm always use filters right after pnpm to avoid this problems.

I have the similar issue when run pnpm build:copy in nocodb/packages/nc-gui, and I noticed that the script name is appended with semicolon and the semicolon is not the same usage on windows.

> nc-gui@ build:copy D:\code\node\nocodb\packages\nc-gui
> pnpm run generate; rm -rf ../nc-lib-gui/lib/dist/; rsync -rvzh ./dist/ ../nc-lib-gui/lib/dist/

 ERR_PNPM_NO_SCRIPT  Missing script: generate;

Command "generate;" not found. Did you mean "pnpm run generate"?
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

To fix it, just replace ; with &.
