Command used with act

act --artifact-server-path=/var/tmp/artifacts --use-new-action-cache=false --pull=false -P self-hosted=-self-hosted -P light=-self-hosted -j <job-name>

Describe issue

I frequently find the output log of act using out of date code. Typically when this happens I simply rm -rf ~/.cache/act/ and it resolves the problem so it seems that there is some cases where stale code in ~/.cache/act/ is not being updated.

Workflow content

The entire workflow is not really relevant I don't think.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

The part of the workflow where stale code was being used:

      - name: Build RPM Docker image
        id: build-rpm-docker-image
        continue-on-error: true
        run: |
             set -eux
             #cat ${{ inputs.PACKAGING_DIR }}/packaging/Dockerfile.mockbuild
             if "${ACT:-false}" && command -v podman; then
                 DOCKER=podman
             else
                 rpm -qa | grep -e podman -e docker -e moby
                 rpm -qf $(command -v podman)
                 DOCKER=docker
             fi
             pwd
             ls -l
             ls -l packaging || true
             "$DOCKER" build --file ${{ inputs.PACKAGING_DIR }}/packaging/Dockerfile.mockbuild \
                             --build-arg CACHEBUST=$(date +%s%3N)                              \
                             --build-arg CB0=$(date +%V)                                       \
                             --build-arg REPO_FILE_URL=$REPO_FILE_URL                          \
                             --build-arg UID=$(id -u)                                          \
                             --build-arg FVERSION=${{ env.FVERSION }}                          \
                             --tag mock-build                                                  \
                            ${{ inputs.PACKAGING_DIR }}

where the file that was being used from the cache that was stale was the ${{ inputs.PACKAGING_DIR }}/packaging/Dockerfile.mockbuild.

Note that the above is from a reusable workflow called from the workflow that was actually being run to invoke this.

Relevant log output

Again, nothing terribly useful here except to note that the log represents stale code.
