terminal messed up with sbt new (at least)

Ok so I’m on sbt-extras for 0.13.13, JDK 8, MacOS default Terminal app. When I do sbt new I see the template title and then output stops.

~$ sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8
[info] Loading global plugins from /Users/rnorris/.sbt/0.13/plugins
[info] Set current project to rnorris (in build file:/Users/rnorris/)
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.
Minimum Scala build.

If I then hit Enter it looks like this:

~$ sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8

Template applied in ./my-something-project

So there is something messed up with echo … I verified that I have the right version of JLine in ~/.sbt/boot.

I bet you have a .sbtignore which is trying to process the output of sbt new line by line and echoing selectively as it goes, but hangs up on the interactive questions sbt poses since such things didn’t exist when the filter was written.

Since I just now ran into the same problem writing a less messy sbt-new.

@paulp that’s it. 👍
