REPL doesn't work with console command in sbt, for some projects

Try Coursera Spark / bigdata course and get the following error when trying to use command console

in sbt. After the stack trace, a prompt appears scala >

, but the console does not work as expected because no text appears when you enter text. Tried example and wikipedia assignments; same. They compile OK and pass the tests - I just can't use the sbt console.

This is strange because the console works great with other projects, in particular the Coursera progfun2 course, which has a very similar build file.

It looks like I ran into a similar problem when jansi ran the REPL a few years ago, but this time the solution del %TEMP%\jansi.dll

reports that there is no such file.
