Description

When setting

githubWorkflowScalaVersions := Nil

the build fails to load with the following error:

Motivation

In my case, I want to set

githubWorkflowScalaVersions := Nil
githubWorkflowBuildSbtStepPreamble := Nil

in an sbt-projectmatrix driven project, because there are subprojects for each Scala version already, and so there's no need to use sbt's built-in cross building support.

As a workaround, I've set:

githubWorkflowScalaVersions := Seq("per-project-matrix")
githubWorkflowBuildSbtStepPreamble := Nil

but that's a little goofy and not setting a Scala matrix axis would be preferred.

Research direction

Start in GenerativePlugin.scala around lines 751-753, where artifact download steps are generated, and reproduce the failure with githubWorkflowScalaVersions := Nil. Trace how an empty Scala version list is handled alongside githubWorkflowBuildSbtStepPreamble := Nil. Done means the build loads successfully without a Scala matrix axis and the existing workaround is no longer needed.
