Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/536

When I run a step that has both the uses and run keys defined, Github fails the build with message:

a step cannot have both the `uses` and `run` keys

act on the other hand silently ignores uses and continues.

Act version

Master 0.2.20-2-g9bf37fb

Expected behaviour

act should fail the build and return a message similar to what Github returns.

Actual behaviour

The step is executed with the value of uses ignored.

Workflow and/or repository

workflow

name: 'Build for ESP32'

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build with ESP-IDF toolchain image
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - uses: docker://espressif/idf:release-v3.3
      run: |
        idf.py build

The step attempts to execute the comand idf.py build in the current docker image, the image which actually contains the tool (espressif/idf:release-v3.3) is not used.

`act` output
