sbt console won't allow any input.

(See the guidelines for contributing, linked above)

steps

Just invoke sbt console in any folder

problem

sbt console won’t allow any input. It doesn’t echo back anything I type except <Enter> key

It responds to my <Enter> and changes a line

Also pressing CTRL-C lets me out of the console.

expectation

Working like a regular console (echoing back what I type)

notes

I have installed scala and sbt through sdkman (http://sdkman.io/index.html); That may be a problem?

scala version : 2.12.4 sbt version: 1.1.1 OS : Mac OS X 10.13.3 openjdk version “1.8.0_152”

And I wonder this is related to this issue ?

Seems like sdkman has nothing to do with this issue.

This symptom appears with Installing via Homebrew anyway.

And I tried sbt "-Djline.terminal=none" and it worked!

Just invoking the console with typing sbt caused this issue (maybe, only to me?)

I think this is a bug…

Edit: I forgot to mention in the video that it makes weird files including control characters 'hello-world'$'\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177\177''hello'$'\177\177\177\177\177\177''wtf?!'
