bfg/assembly in sbt console not packaging the bfg .jar file

Question

morning/afternoon/evening guys, I am trying to compile the bfg bfg-1.11.9-SNAPSHOT-master-21d2115.jar file through the sbt console using the bfg/assembly command, however, the packaging seems to not work around the testing phase. I am following the instructions in BUILD.md, https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner. Last few lines of the log after the assembly command shows:

BFG run is complete! When ready, run: git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive

I have the latest version of java, however the .jar file was never packaged. Checked a few forums but haven't found a relevant solution yet.

Has anyone else experienced this and managed a resolution?
