Any command in sbt shell induces `expected ';'` error

I have tried to run any command in sbt shell for both terminal and Intellij Idea with the same result:

sbt:loom> println("Hello")
[error] Expected ';'
[error] println("Hello")
[error]                 ^
sbt:loom> println("Hello");
[error] Expected ';'
[error] println("Hello")
[error]                 ^
sbt:loom> val list = List.apply(1)
[error] Expected ';'
[error] val list = List.apply(1)
[error]                         ^

How can I run a command in sbt shell?

Use eval command to evaluate Scala expressions within sbt shell

sbt:foo> eval println("Hello")
Hello
[info] ans: Unit = null
sbt:foo> eval List.apply(1)
[info] ans: List[Int] = List(1)
