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?

    Nice one, didn’t know about moreutils. I indeed used p10k on top of zsh. New zsh instance without sourcing anything zsh --no-rcs managed to write to file without issues. Thanks
