Hi, I am facing the same issue. I checked the folders and found demo.launch.py inside the directory: src -> moveit2_tutorials -> doc -> tutorials -> quickstart_in_rviz -> launch -> demo.launch.py. What seems to be happening is that ros2 launch command only checks inside the install folder and not the src folder.

I followed the Getting Started Tutorial and it cloned the tutorials repo in the src folder.

I'm facing the same issue on jazzy. I'm using the main branch of the tutorials repo. It looks like the tutorials actually build correctly (and can confirm they fail to build if I switch to humble branch), however, actually invoking the demo launch script fails.

I did get this working. Blew away everything in my workspace and started fresh. I followed these instructions:

https://moveit.ai/install-moveit2/source/

And then started from here:

https://github.com/moveit/moveit2_tutorials/blob/main/doc/tutorials/getting_started/getting_started.rst#download-source-code-of-moveit-and-the-tutorials

So the full set of commands I ran on Ubuntu 24.04 & ROS2 Jazzy was:

1. Run:

   sudo apt install -y \
     build-essential \
     cmake \
     git \
     python3-colcon-common-extensions \
     python3-flake8 \
     python3-rosdep \
     python3-setuptools \
     python3-vcstool \
     wget
   

2. sudo apt update
3. source /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/setup.bash
4. sudo apt remove ros-$ROS_DISTRO-moveit*
5. export COLCON_WS=~/ws_moveit2/
6. mkdir -p $COLCON_WS/src
7. cd $COLCON_WS/src
8. git clone https://github.com/moveit/moveit2.git -b main
9. for repo in moveit2/moveit2.repos $(f="moveit2/moveit2_$ROS_DISTRO.repos"; test -r $f && echo $f); do vcs import < "$repo"; done
10. rosdep install -r --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO -y
11. cd $COLCON_WS
12. colcon build --event-handlers desktop_notification- status- --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
13. (Re-ran this again since I saw some warnings) colcon build --event-handlers desktop_notification- status- --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
14. cd $COLCON_WS/src
15. git clone https://github.com/moveit/moveit2_tutorials.git
16. vcs import < moveit2_tutorials/moveit2_tutorials.repos (few warnings about other repos not synced exactly same, ignored)
17. rosdep install -r --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro rolling -y
18. cd $COLCON_WS
19. colcon build --event-handlers desktop_notification- status- --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release (got some warnings in rviz_visual_tools and kortex but ignored)
20. source ~/ws_moveit2/install/setup.bash
21. ros2 launch moveit2_tutorials demo.launch.py
