How to generate Junit output report using Behave Python

Question

I'm using Behave on Python to test a web application. My test suite run properly, but I'm not able to generate junit report.

Here is my behave.ini file :

    [behave]
junit=true
format=pretty

I only run behave using this command :behave

After run, the test result is print in the console, but no report is generated.

1 feature passed, 3 failed, 0 skipped
60 scenarios passed, 5 failed, 0 skipped
395 steps passed, 5 failed, 5 skipped, 0 undefined
Took 10m17.149s

What can I do ?

Answer 1

Make sure you don't change the working directory in your steps definition (or, at the end of the test change it back to what it was before). I was observing the same problem, and it turned out that the reports directory was created in the directory I changed into while executing one of the steps.

What may help, if you don't want to care about the working directory, is setting the --junit-directory option. This should help behave to figure out where to store the report, regardless of the working directory at the end of the test (I have not tested that though)
