Command used with act

act --secret-file ~/my-secrets -W ./.github/workflows/my-workflow.yml

Describe issue

OS: Mac OS Big Sur
act version: 0.2.28
image: ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest

The following error was shown after I upgraded from act v0.2.26 to v0.2.28.

❗ ::error::Credentials could not be loaded, please check your action inputs: Could not load credentials from any providers
❌ Failure - Main Configure AWS Credentials
exitcode '1': failure

The error occurs when calling a composite action via matrix strategy and trying to pass in secret from a local file.
Example: act --secret-file ~/my-secrets -W ./.github/workflows/my-workflow.yml

The following outputs section with the secrets *** was not showing as usually when running act v0.2.28.

**:set-output:: aws-account-id=*****

After rolling back to act v0.2.26 this error is gone and everything was working fine as before. Tried it a couple of times back and four, which makes me think it is linked to version 0.2.28.

I hope this is helpful.
