Scalate tool 1.5.3 hanging

[Yang Zhang]

On Ubuntu 10.04, running scalate commands directly from the command
line seems to never finish. It's not burning CPU or anything, though.

$ cat index.jade
!!!
html
head
title Price series browser
link(rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='main.css')
body
#canvas
script(src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js')
script(src='http://mbostock.github.com/d3/d3.js?2.6.0')
script(src='http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/underscore-min.js')
script(src='http://epeli.github.com/underscore.string/dist/underscore.string.min.js')
script(src='main.js')

$ scalate run index.jade
(nothing happens; same thing with scalate 'run index.jade')
^C

But when I run 'run index.jade' from the scalate REPL, it spits out
the rendered template.

Also, may or may not be related, but 'exit' (or ^D) hangs as well.

Filed as a bug.

Any workarounds? 'echo run index.jade | scalate' generates the output
to stdout but it too hangs on the exit. (Also not sure how to
redirect the output to a file.) In general I'm trying to make use of
scalate in a traditional process workflow (like in GNU make), so any
tips would be appreciated. Currently have to copy and paste the
output (or roll my own scalate tool!).

Here's a hack-around:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
classpath="$( echo
/opt/scalate-1.5.3/scalate-1.5.3/lib/{*.jar,*/*.jar} | sed 's/ /:/g'
)"
scala -classpath "$classpath" -e '
import org.fusesource.scalate._
println(new TemplateEngine().layout("index.jade"))
System.exit(0)
