Support for grouping echo commands would be fine

[mcmilk]

The runner for arm64, amd64 and ppc64 are working really nice.

Could you add support for the grouping commands?

jobs:
  bash-example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Group of log lines
        run: |
            echo "::group::My title"
            echo "Inside group"
            echo "::endgroup::"

You get somewhat broken grouping by (The emoji prefix and the group command are part of the placeholder)

jobs:
  bash-example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Group of log lines
        run: |
            echo "##[group]My title"
            echo "Inside group"
            echo "##[endgroup]"

The actions UI only understand the azure pipelines grouping syntax, the actions/runner translates both types of grouping commands to azure pipelines style while act don't.

BTW: my suggestion will work with both this runner and actions runner.

Is it possible to remove the "? ##[group]" in the output?
Is this some debugging which can be turned off?

Is it possible to remove the "? ##[group]" in the output?

Yes by modifing the act submodules commandhandler and deleting the emoji prefix.
Preferable the emoji prefix of disabled commands shouldbe removed too, nektos/act has way to much emoji stuff in it's logger.

Is this some debugging which can be turned off?

No, the act tool behind uncoditionally emits emoticon prefixes for parsed commands.

Ah, thanks for your comments, I will try to dig into these submodules ;-)

I wouldn't close this issue until it works like in actions/runner.

I'm more focused to fix issues caused by protocol updates from GitHub #96. After this actually works this enhancement can be considered by me.
