I also have this issue. This is likely because of the ubuntu-latest update which no longer includes sbt by default.

Also using the sbt/setup-sbt action fixes it.

@tjmw when will the fix for this be rolled out?

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for creating this issue. There is already an issue raised under runner-images. Here are my findings:

• Previously, the ubuntu-latest tag was associated with the ubuntu-22.04 image. It is now associated with the ubuntu-24.04 image.
• If you use the ubuntu-22.04 version and run the pipeline, it should work.

For further updates or fixes, please track issues #10767 and #10636.

Feel free to reach out if you need any clarifications.
