Cryptic error message when using an invalid selector

[paolodamico]

Bug description

If I create an action with an invalid selector, I get a cryptic error message that doesn't tell me what the problem is or how to fix it.

Expected behavior

I would expect to see a very friendly message, telling me what the exact problem is and how to fix it. UX wise I may actually want to see this next to the input that requires fixing as opposed to the toast?

How to reproduce

1. Create an action with an invalid selector (today for example: [data-attr="i am invalid today"]).
