When using the "Node is of type" condition, you have to select "node" in the data selector, not "node.type". You can alternatively use "Data comparison" instead and compare node.type.target_id == page.

Yes, this is a usability issue, and a well-known one - it's being worked on ...

I get the same error using Drupal 8.5.6 and rules versions : 3.x-dev, * dev-3.x

I get this error even if I don’t add any condition to the rule.

So simply reaction rule: Saving new Content : action : show message.

The solution found in another thread is:

1) Events: After saving new content
2) Condition: Node is of type
NODE Data selector: node
CONTENT TYPES value: your content type
3) Action: Show a message on the site and dont forget to fill the repeat value with TRUE if you want to have the message shown each time a content is added

the key is in 2) node date selector should be node not node.type
hope this helps
