Expected behaviour

Be able to build with docker daemon 1.40 and earlier by switching off container image platform discovery on versions that don't support it.

Actual behaviour

I git clone'd the act repo at commit af5140f13e25a304cba8d3ac8646342440fc2ad6 and ran go run main.go:

[jaypipes@thelio act]$ go run main.go
<snip go mod downloads...>
[Test what expressions result in true and false on Github/test-ifs-and-buts] 🚀  Start image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest

Error: "specify container image platform" requires API version 1.41, but the Docker daemon API version is 1.40

Note: If you run make test it will just hang forever with no output until you Ctrl-C to stop it, and then you'll note a bunch of errors like this:

   --- FAIL: TestRunEvent/runs-on#01 (0.11s)
        runner_test.go:66: assertion failed: error is not nil: "specify container image platform" requires API version 1.41, but the Docker daemon API version is 1.40: /home/jaypipes/go/src/github.com/nektos/act/pkg/runner/testdata/runs-on

I noticed that a recent commit updated the docker dependency from v17.12.0-ce-rc1.0.20200618181300-9dc6525e6118+incompatible to v20.10.3+incompatible and so figured I would check out the latest release tag (v0.2.20) and re-ran go run main.go which got me past the "specify container image platform requires API version 1.41" error.

If act is going to depend on really modern versions of Docker, I think that should be listed in the README as a dependency, otherwise consider adding features like container image platform discovery behind some "check and see if my docker daemon supports this yet"-type conditionals?

If you are OK with the latter conditional checks being added to act, I can submit some code for that.

Best,
-jay

Sorry for breaking stuff 😔 supporting older and current Docker API would be definitely best option although I'm not sure if it's possible to do. Feel free to submit PR.

No need to apologize at all! :)

I'll work on a PR and submit shortly.
