Unsupported functionality

While we try to implement all features of GitHub Runners, due to design choices and manpower available it's not possible to make act completely compatible.

Here is a list of features that is (yet) to be implemented or is decided as not going to be worked on by act maintainers.

Planned

• Services are not supported (#173)
• concurrency is ignored
• run-name is ignored
• Context availability is not checked, so you can use the env context on more places
• Step summary not processed
• Problem matcher ignored
• Annotations ignored
• No vars context
• Incomplete github context
• Run steps cancellation not implemented
• job.permissions ignored
• timeout-minutes ignored
• job.continue-on-error ignored
• PATH of container / of act must contain node for nodejs actions, github runner has their own copy for both container and host
• Openid Connect url is not defined
• job.environment ignored and scoping secrets by deployment environment is not supported

Functionality that is not going to be worked on

• Docker context (#583)
