step ids are strings

[ChristopherHX]

My cli shim currently exposed internal guids that are parsed as NaN otherwise, but still doesn't work well after fixing the json logger.

Long json lines get wrapped in your code

Does your input reader has an overflow? The job with the question mark in the middle has a broken json split into two lines, my tool prints them always in one line

BTW. my experimental vscode extension borrowed the log display formatting of the official extension so I have proper ansi colors instead of ESC chars in the log view

This is how the this is expected to look based on internal metadata, while some variables are different it's the same workflow job

Does your input reader has an overflow? The job with the question mark in the middle has a broken json split into two lines, my tool prints them always in one line

There should not be any overflow that I know of. I tried with the following step below which prints a really long line with act and it appears to output correctly. Is this reproducible with act or just your cli shim? Can you share an example step that causes it to break with act or this might be an issue with the cli shim?

      - name: Echo long line
        run: |
          echo "$(printf 'A%.0s' {1..100000})"

BTW. my experimental vscode extension borrowed the log display formatting of the official extension so I have proper ansi colors instead of ESC chars in the log view

This is very interesting. Can you point me to the code in both your extension and in the official extension so this can be added as well? I noticed that the colors provided by act were lost when I started using the CustomExecution, but was unsure yet of a fix for it.

Also, the change in this PR looks good so I will merge. Can you please continue the discussion for the above items in the comments of PR #95
