Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/61

I have an action that runs on a schedule.

act fails to run if it's present in the main.workflow file.

Example output:

Error: unable to parse and validate
  Line 21: Workflow `WORKFLOW' has unknown `on' value `schedule(0 9 * * *)'
  Line 133: Workflow `WORKFLOW2' has unknown `on' value `schedule(0 16 * * 2)'

Following this documentation for chrons:
https://developer.github.com/actions/managing-workflows/creating-and-cancelling-a-workflow/#scheduling-a-workflow

I can remove these for testing and add them back, but thought I would raise an issue.

Thanks for making this tool!

Currently act vendors v1.0.0 the GitHub Actions' official workflow-parser, which didn't support schedule expressions yet. It would be fixed if we change act to vendor github.com/actions/workflow-parser@ca95f9c491 or later than that.

@dahlia commented on GitHub (May 13, 2019): Currently `act` vendors [v1.0.0] the [GitHub Actions' official workflow-parser][1], which didn't support [schedule expressions][2] yet. It would be fixed if we change `act` to vendor https://github.com/actions/workflow-parser/commit/ca95f9c491c6adc6f126bbc5dbe39d77a5b6d2a4 or later than that.

@dahlia seems to work locally, happy to make a PR unless @nektos has it planned in an upcoming release?
