SBT not running from root directory

I had to change my work directory away from default / to get this to work. Try below (WORKDIR changes folder, cd in the commands likely have the same effect) could. This builds and runs with sbt command for me.

FROM openjdk:8 as build
ENV SBT_VERSION "1.5.8"
ENV APP_HOME /service
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
RUN \
  apt-get update && \
  apt-get install apt-transport-https curl gnupg -yqq && \
  echo "deb https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/debian all main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list && \
  echo "deb https://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/debian /" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt_old.list && \
  curl -sL "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823" | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/scalasbt-release.gpg --import && \
  chmod 644 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/scalasbt-release.gpg && \
  apt-get update && \
  apt-get install sbt=$SBT_VERSION && \
  sbt sbtVersion
