Command used with act

act -W .github/workflows/run-test.yaml workflow_dispatch

Describe issue

When passing env variables from a step, act seems to uppercase the environment variables. The action "dark-mechanicum/aws-codebuild@v1" relies on that case format of environment variables remains the same.

Example:

- name: Run CodeBuild
  uses: dark-mechanicum/aws-codebuild@v1
  with:
    projectName: InternalInfrastructure-sysdev-BuildPrimaryRegionCentral
  env:
    CODEBUILD__sourceTypeOverride: S3
    CODEBUILD__sourceLocationOverride: <path to file>

That results in env variables will instead be passed as "CODEBUILD__SOURCETYPEOVERRIDE" and "CODEBUILD_SOURCELOCATIONOVERRIDE". However, it passed via command line, it works as expected.

--env CODEBUILD__sourceTypeOverride=S3 --env CODEBUILD__sourceLocationOverride=<path to file>
