Description:
17:56:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SqlEditorForm: exception in do_connect method: Exception: Unknown database 'test'
17:56:19 [ERR][  GRTDispatcher]: exception in grt execute_task, continuing: Exception: Unknown database 'test'
17:56:19 [ERR][  GRTDispatcher]: worker: task 'execute sql queries' has failed with error:.Unknown database 'test'
17:56:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SQL editor could not be connected: Unknown database 'test'
17:56:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: Your connection attempt failed for user 'root' to the MySQL server at localhost:3307:
  Unknown database 'test'

Please:
1 Check that MySQL is running on address localhost
2 Check that MySQL is reachable on port 3307 (note: 3306 is the default, but this can be changed)
3 Check the user root has rights to connect to localhost from your address (MySQL rights define what clients can connect to the server and from which machines) 
4 Make sure you are both providing a password if needed and using the correct password for localhost connecting from the host address you're connecting from

Try connecting to a valid database that exists.
