When act fails to build a docker image (for whatever reason) it should print out some error and bail, instead of resuming the run.

act pull_request
[build] docker build -t pull-request-action:874ac47 /Users/sosedoff/Experiments/test-action/pull-request-action
[build] docker run image=pull-request-action:874ac47 entrypoint=[] cmd=[]
Error: Error: No such image: pull-request-action:874ac47

I can see the docker build error with act -v pull_request:
