We are facing issue that Katalon failed to open project due to below error

Look like it is coming from our custom keywords. However, those keywords are running well. Currently, we work around by moving out those keywords then open project and copy them back. Please help!

Hi @nguyenthanh.lam,

Just delete .cache folder, .project file, .classpath file then try opening your project again.
