devcontainers/[email protected] return "::error::Unable to locate executable file: docker."

[alanlivio]

I am trying to use the devcontainers/[email protected] action (see workflow and devcontainer below).
I am running it in a local environment using nektos act before run at Github (see log bellow).
However, I got the error "::error::Unable to locate executable file: docker."
Am I missing something?

I am also facing the same issue here with the same setup on nektos act and Docker desktop installed.

Make sure Docker is indeed on the PATH at the time the action runs. Maybe run a script step with echo $PATH and docker version right before the action step to check.
