Additional information

I don't seem to be able to get this working on Windows or Windows Subsystem for Linux at all.

This is a fresh install.

I've manually pulled the image catthehacker/ubuntu:act-latest and it's still unable to detect the image.

Any recommendations I can try to get this working?

I'm running into this on a Mac (Intel), Docker Desktop 4.13.0.

EDIT: disabling "Use containerd for pulling and storing images" in the Beta Features section of Preferences seems to have fixed it.

Yup, disabling that works for me too.

However I do now get:

[Main/Lint files] 🚀  Start image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04
[Main/Lint files]   🐳  docker pull image=catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04 platform= username= forcePull=false
Error: Error response from daemon: Head "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/catthehacker/ubuntu/manifests/act-22.04": unauthorized: please use personal access token to login

I am authenticated with Dockerhub so I suspect that username= bit is the problem. Manually pulling the image makes it all work fine though so I'm happy enough now.

I won't close it just in case the maintainers want this for future work.

Docker promises to implement it someday, hopefully before it goes out of beta

The reference filter isn’t implemented yet and will return the error invalid filter 'reference' when listing images.

https://docs.docker.com/desktop/containerd/

We can reopen it if docker considers not to reimplement this feature before it releases

I am authenticated with Dockerhub so I suspect that username= bit is the problem. Manually pulling the image makes it all work fine though so I'm happy enough now.

This was reported here too:

https://github.com/nektos/act/discussions/1165

No idea what happens there

Here is the code, which uses the reference filter

github.com/nektos/act@d281230cce/pkg/container/docker_images.go (L20-L22)

github.com/nektos/act@d281230cce/pkg/container/docker_images.go (L64-L66)

I don't know how to rewrite it to not make use of this feature.

If rewriting it so that it doesn't use that filter doesn't work, you could see if the command invocation fails. If it does, you can assume Docker is either not installed or is set up to use the beta feature, in which case you can provide the user with suggestions on how to fix this.
