Using Rich to write colored text to terminal from step definition not working

[stenaksel]

In my stepDefinitions I have tried to use rich for writing out to terminal with color. And I experienced Behave is working differently when I run it with --wip.
In a steps.py file add from rich import print as rprint and then in a step definition add rprint('[italic red]Hello[/italic red] World!')

Running Behave with --wip will show the red italic "Hello", but running without --wip will not...

I find this to be a bug...

The --wip changes a number of internal configurations if this option is enabled.
For example, it disables the stdout-capture, etc.

Normally, output from steps is captured and only shown if the step fails.
Try running behave --no-capture -f plain ... and you should see printed output.

OTHERWISE:

• Provide and use your own formatter class that always shows captured-output.
