I'm trying to run this workflow with act version 0.2.17 but it doesn't seem to be seeing it.

It seems like act isn't showing anything when I do a list, but it looks like it sees the YAML file.

act --list -v
DEBU[0000] Loading environment from /home/mauve/programming/mapeo-mobile/.env 
DEBU[0000] Loading secrets from                         
DEBU[0000] Loading workflows from '/home/mauve/programming/mapeo-mobile/.github/workflows' 
DEBU[0000] Reading workflow '/home/mauve/programming/mapeo-mobile/.github/workflows/android.yml' 
DEBU[0000] Planning event: push                         
ID  Stage  Name  

Is there anything else I should do to debug this scenario?

Whoops, looks like I was misunderstanding what act list does. Running act pull_request seemed to start the trigger.
