? Please choose the default image you want to use with act:

  - Large size image: +20GB Docker image, includes almost all tools used on GitHub Actions (IMPORTANT: currently only ubuntu-18.04 platform is available)
  - Medium size image: ~500MB, includes only necessary tools to bootstrap actions and aims to be compatible with all actions
  - Micro size image: <200MB, contains only NodeJS required to bootstrap actions, doesn't work with all actions

Default image and other options can be changed manually in ~/.actrc (please refer to https://github.com/nektos/act#configuration for additional information about file structure) Medium

How fixed?

This gets a little bit better with #908 but since it accesses github.event it still needs an event.json payload, because otherwise github.event.commits is not an array.

I think this scenario is better to specifically require event file
