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.

    sudo does not prompt for password in my container. It just elevates the privileges straight away. Yeah, it’s hard to tell. Or test for that matter.
