Act: 'needs' is not defined

[kochetkovIT]

Error ERRO[0002] Unable to interpolate string 'echo ${{ needs.pre.output1 }}' - [ReferenceError: 'needs' is not defined] when try to following workflow:

jobs:
  pre:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo '::set-env name=VAR1::value1'
    outputs:
      output1: ${{ env.VAR1 }}

  job1:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [pre]
    steps:
      - run: echo ${{ needs.pre.outputs.output1 }}

This syntax is working in workflow ran by Github Actions, as we do use it in our project's CI.
