Command used with act

act -l
Stage  Job ID  Job name  Workflow name  Workflow file  Events

Describe issue

I just created this workflow:

cat .github/workflows/pull_request.yml 
---
name: Pull Request Event

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  pullrequestit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Pull Request it
        run: echo "Doing a pull request."
...

So when I run cat -l it is NOT listing my workflow.

act -l 
Stage  Job ID  Job name  Workflow name  Workflow file  Events

If I change the on: pull_request: to on: push:, it lists my workflow.

cat .github/workflows/pull_request.yml 
---
name: Pull Request Event

on:
  push:  ### NOW THERE IS A PUSH HERE

jobs:
  pullrequestit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Pull Request it
        run: echo "Doing a pull request."
...
act -l
Stage  Job ID         Job name       Workflow name       Workflow file     Events
0      pullrequestit  pullrequestit  Pull Request Event  pull_request.yml  push

I was expecting that act -l listing my workflow when I set the on: directive as pull_request.

Link to GitHub repository

No response

Workflow content

---
name: Pull Request Event

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  pullrequestit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Pull Request it
        run: echo "Doing a pull request."
...

Relevant log output

act -l
Stage  Job ID  Job name  Workflow name  Workflow file  Events

Additional information

act doesn't list my workflow even if I set the on as:

on: [pull_request]

But it lists my workflow if I set two events push and pull_request, as:

on:
  push:
  pull_request:
