fastly/compute-actions/setup errors when testing locally with act

[torch2424]

Across multiple C@E SDK Github Actions, we use act to test our Github Actions locally. 😄 I currently have a a snippet that I use to install the Fastly CLI, but I want to use the fastly/compute-actions/setup to always get the latest CLI version. fastly/compute-actions/setup works fine when I run it on Github Actions, but breaks in my local testing. 😢

Example

I had the following snippet in my Github Action:

- name: Set up Fastly CLI
      uses: fastly/compute-actions/setup@main
      with:
        cli_version: '1.7.0' # optional, defaults to 'latest'

Which produced the following act logs:

If I had to guess, I think the issue might be that you are committing your node_modules directory? Which I do understand is recommended by Github, but they also mention it can cause problems, and they reccomended @vercel/ncc even more so. 🤔

Let me know if I can help! 😄 🙏🏾
