Question

I tried in my behat.yml and put the template inside my /support dir, but no help.

    default:
      formatter:
        name:  html
        parameters:
          template_path: html.tpl

Any ideas?

You can extend a custom class from the existing HtmlFormatter to explicitly set your html template.

PHP

namespace Behat\Behat\Formatter;
use Behat\Behat\Formatter\HtmlFormatter;

class MyHtmlFormatter extends HtmlFormatter {

    /**
     * The HTML template to use for formatting.
     * @return string
     */
    protected function getHtmlTemplate()
    {
        return '
          <div id="behat">
            {{content}}
          </div>
        ';
    }

    // You can override any other methods of HtmlFormatter that you want
    // to define custom behavior.
}

Then update your behat.yml file to point to your custom class.

behat.yml (Optional – Only needed if you don’t use --format in your behat command line.)

default:
    formatter:
        name: Behat\Behat\Formatter\MyHtmlFormatter

Behat

Finally, run behat with the following command:

behat --out out.html your_feature.feature

If you want to specify this formatter directly then do:

behat --format Behat\\Behat\\Formatter\\MyHtmlFormatter --out o.html

Note that you need the \\ to properly send the class name.
