I received an error in SWAT+ Editor

SWAT+ Editor is most often accessed during step 3 of the QSWAT+ plugin. It may also be launched on its own. Make sure you have the most recent version of SWAT+ Editor.

If your error is not covered by the solutions below, please consult the .

There was an error checking your project configuration

If you receive this message when you first launch your project in the editor, it is a sign the editor did not load its services correctly. While SWAT+ Editor is running, please right-click your Windows taskbar and select Task Manager. Expand the arrow next to SWATPlusEditor and ensure you have swatplus_rest_api.exe running as shown in the screenshot below.

If you do not see it running, please open a command prompt window. Make sure you are in the C drive, or the drive where you installed SWAT+. Browse to the location below, then run the swatplus_rest_api.exe file.

> cd C:\SWAT\SWATPlus\SWATPlusEditor\resources\app.asar.unpacked\api_dist
> swatplus_rest_api.exe

If it is working properly, you should receive something similar to the following:

* Serving Flask app "swatplus_rest_api" (lazy loading)
* Environment: production
WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment.
Use a production WSGI server instead.
* Debug mode: off
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

If this is what you received, please simply close SWAT+ Editor and try launching it again.

If you get no message on the screen at all, it might be a permission or error related to your computer settings. Try installing to another location on your machine, such as another hard drive, or even install to a flash drive. If this still does not work, try another machine.
