Porting a drupal 6 site here.

I have a simple action, defined as such:

array(
    'presswire_removefromlist_action' => array(
      'type' => 'node',
      'label' => t('Remove from list'),
      'triggers' => array('any'),
      'configurable' => FALSE,
    ),

It appears in the core actions list under configuration->actions but I cannot get it to appear as an option for my VBO field. What am I missing here?

Alpha2 had broken actions, -dev fixed this. But you say you're already using -dev...
You can try placing a few dsm()s into populate_operations() of views_bulk_operations_handler_field_operations.inc and see if it's getting the action at all.
You can also attach the whole module that's providing the action here, and I can try to reproduce.

EDIT: No, that was unrelated.
Doing a dsm($action_operations) below: $action_operations = actions_list(); in views_bulk_operations_field_operations.inc would be best.

Hmm, my action is there in $form['vbo']['selected_operations'] when options_form() returns, but still isn't making it into the UI. Where else might it be getting filtered out?

Permissions.
In views_bulk_operations_handler_field_operations::get_selected_operations().

Are you using the actions_permissions module? That might affect it.
Of course, permissions don't matter if you're editing the view as admin (admin can always see everything).

I thought about that - but even as admin I don't see it.

Can you strip your code to the bare minimum and share it here (or privately)?
I haven't had a problem with any action I tried (that I didn't fix before alpha3), so I'm not sure where else to send you checking..

Sure - this was the very start of developing this module so there's nothing in there but the action.

This was... unexpected.
The checkbox for your action was in the list all along, but it was hidden (display:none) by a misbehaving Views CSS rule, because it has "remove" in it's name.
Replace the "remove" part of the action name, and monitor the issue I opened in Views #1193742: CSS rule with unintended consequences.

Interesting—it would have taken me forever to figure that one out. Thanks!

Title: Simple action not available in VBO » Actions with "remove" in name not available in VBO

Wow I am glad I found this post!! I had the same problem.

Retitling for better visibility, although people should check out the separate issue.
