Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

HTMLFormatter

✓ from behave_html_formatter import HTMLFormatter

✗ from behave_contrib.formatter import HTMLFormatter

The correct package name is 'behave_html_formatter' (underscore). The old or incorrect import path is under 'behave_contrib' which does not exist.

Install the formatter, configure Behave to use it, then run tests.

pip install behave behave-html-formatter # In your features/ directory, add or modify behave.ini: [behave] format = html outfile = reports/report.html # Then run behave: behave

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe formatter only generates HTML output when the 'html' format is specified. If multiple formats are used, ensure you include 'html'.

fix

Use `behave --format html --outfile report.html` or set in behave.ini: `format = pretty,html` if you want both console and HTML output.

affects: all

gotchaThe output file path specified in `--outfile` is relative to the current working directory, not the feature directory. In behave.ini, the path is also relative to the project root.

fix

Always use absolute paths or ensure the relative path matches your project layout. Example: `behave --format html --outfile /absolute/path/report.html`

affects: all

deprecatedVersion 0.9.10 fixed CSS issues, but older versions (<=0.9.7) had broken CSS and missing JavaScript minification which could corrupt the report.

fix

Upgrade to >=0.9.9 to get proper CSS and JS handling.

affects: <0.9.8

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: cannot import name 'HTMLFormatter'

Using wrong import path: `from behave_contrib import HTMLFormatter` instead of `from behave_html_formatter import HTMLFormatter`.

fix

Use the correct import: `from behave_html_formatter import HTMLFormatter`

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'behave_html_formatter'

The `behave-html-formatter` package is not installed.

fix

Run `pip install behave-html-formatter`

behave: error: argument --format: invalid choice: 'html' (choose from 'json', 'plain', 'pretty', 'progress', 'rerun', 'steps', 'tags')

Behave does not have the built-in 'html' formatter; the behave-html-formatter package must be installed and registered.

fix

Install with `pip install behave-html-formatter` and ensure it's available in the environment. Then the 'html' format will appear.
