Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/518

When specifying a platform/image with act -P ubuntu-18.04=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04 act will still use the previously configured catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest rather than the specified image.

@CodeSpent Your workflow is using ubuntu-latest, not ubuntu-18.04 therefore you need to specify platform as -P ubuntu-latest=nektos/act-environments-ubuntu:18.04
