Command used with act
act -j call-reusable-workflowDescribe issue
When using act with reusable workflows called with a matrix strategy, act does not create separate docker containers for each matrix combination; it tries to run them all in the same container which generates an error (see log output below).
If I run the same matrix strategy in a standalone workflow, act creates a separate docker container for each matrix combination and the workflow runs successfully.

Error: failed to create container: 'Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/act-call-reusable-workflow-reusable-workflow-reusable-workflow-c7535ef5a84abfd1f2412cceca72bd226072ccb44b16a59787972320d9cb1a2d" is already in use by container "d0baad951ea56daf6bd3097af098d08b22d726733e0e4a54120fe40c357874a0". You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.'Additional information
As mentioned above, this works fine with standalone workflows.
