Command used with act

act -W .github/workflows/push.yml

Describe issue

When deserializing a JSON string, all numbers are floats. Because act formats floats with fewer significant digits than actions/runner, this can be problematic (e.g. it's an id and you're about to use it in an API call).

Workflow content

on: push
jobs:
  act-bug:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo '${{ 123456 }}'

      - run: echo '${{ fromJSON('123456') }}'
      - run: echo '${{ fromJSON('1234567') }}'

Relevant log output

[push.yml/act-bug] 🏁  Job succeeded

Additional information

Note the 1.234567e+06 on the last step. By contrast, when running the workflow on GitHub, it formats those with enough significant digits and no trailing zero:
