What's the base image's nodejs version?
According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Nullish_coalescing_assignment you'd need at least node v15+

thanks for reply.
I check the deploy image（catthehacker/ubuntu:full-18.04） in docker,the node version is v14.17.6.
So i shoud update node version before execute shivammathur/setup-php@v2 action.

I have this issue to:

act version 0.2.48

I notice when I go into the container itself and run "/bin/bash /run/act/actions/shivammathur-setup-php@v2/src/scripts/run.sh"

It does successfully install PHP:
