Act version

act version 0.2.22

Expected behaviour

With the following action definition:

...
- id: build
   name: Build ${{ inputs.package }} using ${{ inputs.image }}:${{ inputs.tag }}
   shell: bash
   env:  
      FOOBAR: foo/${{ inputs.bar }}

The expectation is to have the env FOOBAR set to "foo/bar" if inputs.bar was passed as "bar".

Actual behaviour

FOOABAR expands (or should I say does not ~) to foo/${{ inputs.bar }}
