Apparent errors in validation when user types in something during sleep

[blahosyl]

As my mentor had warned me before implementing sleep, this causes some strange behaviours with input validation.

In the screenshot below, it seems like the program rejects the input y, which should be accepted.

On closer inspection, however, we can see that the user already entered y once, before the next question appeared.

Since timeouts with sleep enhance the user experience, especially when giving a confirmation message before clearing the screen, I decided not to remove these. Instead, I intend to modify the validation error messages such that they also show the user input that is being rejected.

Code to be modified

• initial question
• add more dishes question
• dish selection: out of range
• Bug in displaying input in number range checker #41

Seem to have introduced a bug:

Type in the number of the dish you'd like to add: 45
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/run.py", line 195, in <module>
    _shopping_list.unify_ingredients(_dishes.select_dish(), _data)
  File "/app/planner.py", line 66, in select_dish
    while dish_number < 1 or dish_number > len(self.dish_data) - 1:
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

Breaking bug fixed. However, the user input is still not always shown correctly in the except block:
