'Loading BDD Scripts...' has encountered a problem

[nkondamoori.extern]

Hi Team, I am constantly getting below error due to which i can work with the feature file. Could someone please help me to get the solution ?

Note - Newly added test steps in feature file doesn’t give an indication that associated step definition is not found.

I seem to remember it. Have a look at the following post:

On opening a project, "Loading BDD scripts... (0%)" forced me to wait for 41 seconds

When I opened a project, I saw a message “Loading BDD scripts … (0%)” stayed there for 41 seconds. [Screenshot 2025-09-18 161110] Apparently Katalon Studio was doing nothing! I guess, Katalon Studio is just poorly implemented: it triggers a fixed timer of 40 seconds for loading what it calls “BDD scripts”. But the project being opened contains no BDD scripts. I think this must be regarded as a bug c/c @duyluong Environment Windows 11 Home, Katalon Studio Free v10.3.1

My impression about the BDD testing in Katalon Studio is that it looks buggy. Personally I would refrain from it.

Are you using the latest version? If not , could you upgrade the version and then check again

hi @nkondamoori.extern

perhaps we should regularly monitor this one for any connections

hi katalon team @Shin @duyluong just checking if there are any updates on this since a new topic came up that seems connected, so wanted to see if that changes anything
