Command used with act

act -P macos-latest=-self-hosted --container-architecture=darwin/x86_64

Describe issue

Seems like the --container-architecture flag has no effect with -self-hosted.

I understand the name doesn't really make sense given that it's not running in a container when using the -self-hosted flag, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't work in the same way it would when running in a container. But I am making use of an Action in my Workflow that depends on the architecture, and when RUNNER_ARCH is set to the default amd64 the Action fails.

I'm looking for a way to be able set RUNNER_ARCH when using -self-hosted. I've tried setting it via --env and on my system, in both cases it seems like it gets overridden by Act.

Make a PR to map amd64 to x64?

Here is the code:

github.com/nektos/act@9c7f103bb3/pkg/container/host_environment.go (L426)

get the go sdk
make the change and run go build if it works fork this repo and make a Pullrequest

Happy to do so. Is there a case where amd64 is useful and the map you described would be undesirable?

I assumed amd64 was the default for a reason, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me why.

I don't think such a case exist for act (for my github-act-runner this is a breaking change to document), all actions should expect X64

I assumed amd64 was the default for a reason

github-act-runner had used the raw values for all of them, but as usage in this upstream repo increased for officially supported platforms it has been requested to use the same values if they are documented.
