Can someone explain why this would make the command wait forever? What is tee waiting for?

echo "test" | sudo tee newfile

What would be a scriptable workaround for such cases?

Edit: this command would not terminate in zsh. This works fine in bash tho.

    I use zsh and it works fine for me fwiw. Same with zsh --no-rcs (which doesn’t load zshrc). Maybe you have some weird setting enabled?
