No matter what I do, I cannot get act to pick up my action/event/job. If I change the on: pull_request_review_comment to on: push, it works fine.

Does ACT not support actions like this? Here are some things I've tried:

act -l -e ./.tmp/pull_request_review_comment.json -v
where pull_request_review_comment.json is:

{
  "pull_request_review_comment": {
    "action": "created",
    "comment": {
      "body": "unicorn_run"
    }
  }
}

Here is my workflow file (./github/workflows/unicorn.yml):

name: Unicorn Screenshots
on: pull_request_review_comment

jobs:
  screenshots:
    if: contains( github.event.comment.body, 'unicorn_run')
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [12.x]

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
    - name: serve site and screenshot
      env:
        CI: true
