I could access the custom keyword until i created a new package for a set of other custom keywords. Now Katalon does not recognize any keywords although they are defined. ---

I’ve tried again our latest version 5.0.1 and observe no problems. Can I see your custom keyword definition? ---

Things started working after I restarted Katalon studio. Guess this is an intermittent issue. ---

Hi. Make sure to add the annotations ‘@Keyword’ before the function declaration. > @Keyword > def keywordName(parameters…) { > // enter your code here > // you can use either Groovy or Java > } ---

You need to add @Keyword before your METHOD declaration, NOT before your class declaration. ---

I am having this same issue. I created the keyword and have @keyword before the method, not the class. Every time I try to add a line to the manual view it says there are no custom keywords. ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/jx/l81fv93mrg7j.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/jx/l81fv93mrg7j.png") [image.png](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/jx/l81fv93mrg7j.png) ---
