"Cannot bind parameter 'Option'" When running workflow

[staffanhedstrom]

Hello!

This extension looked intriguing but I cannot get it to run. Act and Docker engine both show green.

But any workflow I try to run produces this error:

 *  Executing task: set -o pipefail; act --workflows ".github/workflows/myworkflow.yml" --job "tests" --secret-file "" --var-file "" --input-file "" --eventpath "" 2>&1 | tee "c:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\sanjulaganepola.github-local-actions\MyTest #1 - 20241125_145859.log"

VS Code is run as admin.

As far I can tell, the problem is this extension uses shellexecute with a bash script containing pipefail and the act command.

So windows seems to be broken via powershell as default shell

Linux and macOS should work at the moment.

I'm a nektos/act maintainer

Made a pr for basic windows support

Log preservation and spaces in filenames are not supported, but something to play with
