Command used with act

./bin/act push -e ci/event_changes.json --pull=false --secret-file ci/.secrets --env-file ci/.env --var-file ci/.vars --artifact-server-path /tmp/artifacts

Describe issue

My original issue was that files in the workspace were stale. Meaning I could commit a file to my local branch, but it would not appear in the workspace after artifact copy.

This was working well when originally using --artifact-server-path /tmp/artifacts I wanted to change directories so I changed the path. That broke. I attempted to switch back

I have tried killing the artifact server container and docker prune. Then tried running with the --rm flag. I also removed the directories under /tmp/artifacts

I'm sure there are other levels of caching or cleanup I'm missing.
