Can you give us an example of the code and what your results are after running it? It should be stopping if it does not find.

Typically something like this should be sufficient:  
WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject(‘katalonObjectPath’), 1, FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE)

in most cases this should work fine. If it’s not I’d be interested in what you are attempting.
