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.
If it is working properly, you should receive something similar to the following:
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.
If you receive an error message, please copy it and report to the Bitbucket issue tracker.
