Describe issue

When running my workflow with act i expect that the step "random job" will output: "success failure". When running the workflow with github-actions i can access all the status of dependent jobs using the wildcard *

Workflow content

name: CI/CD

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:

  tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: node tests
        run: exit 1

  notify:
    needs: tests
    if: always()
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: random job
        run: echo "${{ job.status }} ${{ join(needs.*.result, ' ') }}"

Relevant log output

[CI/CD/notify] [DEBUG] expression 'echo "${{ job.status }} ${{ join(needs.*.result, ' ') }}"' rewritten to 'format('echo "{0} {1}"', job.status, join(needs.*.result, ' '))'
[CI/CD/notify] [DEBUG] evaluating expression 'format('echo "{0} {1}"', job.status, join(needs.*.result, ' '))'
[CI/CD/notify] [DEBUG] expression 'format('echo "{0} {1}"', job.status, join(needs.*.result, ' '))' evaluated to '%!t(string=echo "success ")'
[CI/CD/notify] [DEBUG] Wrote command 

echo "success "

 to 'workflow/1'
