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?

I just switched over to bash and it worked lol. It just didn’t return for me in zsh…
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?
It works here in zsh, did you mistype the closing quote? Although that alters my prompt.
My initial guess was that sudo would eat up the echo’d foo as the password. Maybe
sudoworks differently when invoked via zsh?
