Act seems to be failing on any workflow that specifies a container. See error message below along with included workflow file.

NOTE: This runs fine for me on simpler workflows when I do not specify a container attribute. It also fails if I put the text in quotes, etc.

p.s. Thanks for act. Great tool and I'd love to get it working with these other workflows.
