Does anyone know why my action can NOT use in web simulator??

I set my invocation name for testing as "test", and in web simulator , I try to use my action by input "Talk to test", but it told me "Sorry, this action is not available in simulation"...

Is there anything wrong with me ??

I have found that you have to type in that phrase anytime the simulator gets confused to get back into your intent flow.

In my case it looks like this in the Dialog portion of the simulator:
