Unable to reproduce

Original Workflow has no problems in act: https://github.com/wavoip/chatwoot/actions/runs/10913234450/workflow

Why did you even replace secrets.NAME by <redacted>? This make the workflow invalid for both act and GitHub Actions.

I redacted in the post, not on the code. Locally I just replaced by my actual credentials. I did not realize this would actually access the repository's variables.

For secrets are secret files that map secret names to values

e.g. a secret Name can get a value by

-s Name=mysecretval
Name=mysecretval as a line in .secrets

Should be described on nektosact.com

My advice, To do what you have tried correctly then you have to replace ${{ secret.NAME }} by your secret, don't leave it as expression.

Like sayed, it's not recommend to make such changes in workflow files directly

I redacted in the post, not on the code.

Act would show the exact same message in both cases, so I couldn't notice that detail.
