I had generated the github workflow file using ChatGPT and tested it and it was working earlier.

Acc. to my findings, the workflow fails when the base runner image is ubuntu-24.04 but passes when it is ubuntu-22.04.5. We have specified ubuntu-latest as the base runner image
But Github has recently (Dec 5th) started migration of ubuntu-latest label from ubuntu 22 to ubuntu 24. Link

Acc. to this github issue, they have removed some of the packages and changed versions of few packages in ubuntu 24 image.

A combination of base runner image ubuntu-24.04, container image python:3.12-slim-bookworm and actions/setup-python@v4 is leading to the failure of the workflow.
Error message :
python3.12: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /__t/Python/3.12.8/x64/lib/libpython3.12.so.1.0)

Using actions/setup-python@v4 is enough to setup the correct python version and install all of it's required dependencies

why this @v4

    - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.12'

@samarpan1738

I had picked it up from a code sample from an article and not from the official docs. Therefore it's an older (v4) version
I have changed it to v5 (latest version)

[iamitprakash]

why we can't go with something like 3.12.* like we do have in others repo even in frontend repos

[samarpan1738]

Changed it to 3.12.*
