--stdin-path option is not working: ERROR: You must supply at least one file or directory to process.

Using the plugin in VS, a notification appears with the following content:

phpcs: Unknown error ocurred. Please verify that C:\Users\xx\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin\phpcs.bat --report=json -q --encoding=UTF-8 --error-severity=5 --warning-severity=5 --stdin-path=c:\path\to\file.php - returns a valid json object.

When executing this command in PowerShell, the output is the following: ERROR: You must supply at least one file or directory to process.

However, removing the --stdin option and passing the path as an argument, gives a correct output in JSON.

phpcs.bat --report=json -q --encoding=UTF-8 --error-severity=5 --warning-severity=5 c:\path\to\file.php

{"totals":{"errors":...

Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks!
