Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/53

When testing actions locally, if your password is a token or certificate string then the action aborts:

$ act 
Provide value for 'CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY': *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
2019/03/20 16:36:38 abort

This is mostly due to an issue here - as the gopass does not support multi-byte characters! But this prevents local testing where secret is bigger string as is the case here.

workarounds:

set secret through env variable: act -s CERTIFICATE_AUTHORITY=$(cat mycert.key)
set secret in ~/.actrc
