Duplicate of #1071

The fix will be released in the next release v0.2.27.
However you can install the version based on latest commit read this section if you are using homebrew on linux/macOS https://github.com/nektos/act#homebrew-linuxmacos, otherwise build the master branch of this project from source e.g. go build.
