Copied from here

I am developing on a Windows environment and building in a Linux container for docker, this is what I receive when running act.

act has been installed via Chocolatey, and also directly from the latest release.

This issue went away for me when I commented out the ref property in the checkout step:

   ...
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      id: checkout
      with:
        # ----- comment out ref seems to resolve this issue for me
        #ref: v2

It might be a path related issue.
docker cp src=act/arbitrary-linux-image@master dst=/actions\
Here, the dst will be run in a Linux environment. Linux might confuse the \ at the end.

That's what I think as well, because when I run act in the same machine
but from Linux, it works.

This line doesn't look good neither: /github/workspace/\actions\azure-login@v1.1\lib\main.js

The workaround is using Ubuntu 20+WSL2 on Win 10, installing Docker, enabling WSL2 for docker, enabling WSL2 integration in docker to Ubuntu 20, and then using act from the Ubuntu environment.
