Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/884

Originally assigned to: @catthehacker on GitHub.

System information

Operating System: Windows 10
Architecture: x64 (64-bit)
Docker version: 20.10.18
Docker image used in act: ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:pwsh-20.04
act version: act version 0.2.24

Expected behaviour

Running this workflow

act -v -j tests_no_bindgen -P ubuntu-20.04=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:pwsh-20.04

The workflow finishes suceesfully.

Actual behaviour

[Tests/ubuntu-20.04 (R-release rust-stable)-3       ]   🐳  docker exec cmd=[pwsh -command . '/mnt/d/OneDrive/Development/OSS/extendr/workflow/5'] user=
[Tests/ubuntu-20.04 (R-release rust-stable)-3       ] Exec command '[pwsh -command . '/mnt/d/OneDrive/Development/OSS/extendr/workflow/5']'
| ResourceUnavailable: Program '5' failed to run: Exec format errorAt line:1 char:1
| + . '/mnt/d/OneDrive/Development/OSS/extendr/workflow/5'
| + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
time="2021-11-15T19:02:58+03:00" level=debug msg="exit with `FAILURE`: 1"
[Tests/ubuntu-20.04 (R-release rust-stable)-3       ]   ❌  Failure - Configure Linux

Workflow and/or repository

Possible explanation

According to the docs, when executing PowerShell scripts, GHA appends .ps1 to the file name.
If I connect to the container and modify the name of the faulty workflow (in this case, 5), I can execute pwsh -command . '/mnt/d/OneDrive/Development/OSS/extendr/workflow/5' with no problem (I mean, this particular problem goes away).

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/extendr/extendr
cd extendr
act -v -j tests_no_bindgen -P ubuntu-20.04=ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:pwsh-20.04

Ironic enough, I faced the very same issue with running Github actions for the very same repository.
