Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/2408

Bug report info

act version:            0.2.64
GOOS:                   linux
GOARCH:                 amd64
NumCPU:                 12
Docker host:            DOCKER_HOST environment variable is not set
Sockets found:
	/var/run/docker.sock

Command used with act

act -j docker-run-test

Describe issue

When running the below workflow, then the new_dir created in step 2 is not available in the docker container of step 4 even though it should use the same workspace

This is a minimal test case, in reality I need to run a docker container that requires an --init hence why I'm using this workaround of calling docker run myself in a custom action.
