Hi…  
I’m seeing issue with sendkeys when I call the Test Case as a function in a different Test case. It is working fine when I execute the Test case and seeing this issue only when I call it as a function in a different Test case. Currently I’m working with Katalon 5.8.4.

I think we might need a little more information. What exactly do you mean by “call a test case as a function”? Post some of your code so we can see what you’re trying to achieve.

Make sure you have imported the Keys class:

import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys

And, more importantly, make sure you read this next post – trying to figure out what you are doing from a screenshot that is inconveniently cropped right at the point of the relevant error message is not the kind of thing I normally have any patience for:

There are some pretty smart and clever people on this forum, but you must realize, they are not magicians or wizards or gods. They cannot see your code, they can’t see your errors and they don’t even know what your AUT is meant to do even though it might seem perfectly obvious to you. So please relax and follow the advice below, before you start writing your post. The advice below will tell you the exact information …
