Error handling and validation

[edenlightning]

• running local app with cloud-compute isn't throwing an error, we should add a warning that only cloud apps can use that flag
• app stays pending with spaces and special char
• can’t run without n_trails- int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType’
