Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nektos/act/issues/634

Act version

act version 0.2.20

Expected behaviour

act -l should show available jobs while using on: [repository_dispatch] without invoking explicit trigger. With act repository_dispatch it works

Actual behaviour

act -l is not showing available jobs when using on: [repository_dispatch] and not infers the only event in my workflow.

Workflow and/or repository

workflow

name: deploy
on: [repository_dispatch] # doesn't work. `on: [push, repository_dispatch`]` works
jobs:
  deploy-remote-repo:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Event Information
        run: |
          echo "Event '${{ github.event.action }}' received from '${{ github.event.client_payload.repository }}'" 
      - name: Checkout Repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run playbook
        if: github.event.action == 'trigger_deploy'
        uses: saubermacherag/ansible-playbook-docker-action@v1.3
  [...]

The behaviour is correct.
https://github.com/nektos/act#commands
You can use --detect-event to not type specific event in act
