cucumber-ruby: Attaching screenshots doesn't work for html reports

Describe the bug The standard method of attaching screenshots embed (and its new alias attach) doesn’t work anymore.

Both:

# 1
browser.screenshot.save path
attach path, 'image/png'

#2
encoded_img = browser.screenshot.base64
attach encoded_img, 'image/png;base64'

are showing the same results: label Embedded image without actual content

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Embed screenshot in your code
Run the test with HTML formatter
Observe results

Expected behavior Image is attached in HTML report

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Your Environment

cucumber (4.1.0)
macOS Catalina 10.15.4

Ok, thanks.

The workaround for this is to not encode the screenshot to base64. Cucumber will encode the data itself. Unfortunately there is no other workaround yet for this 😦

At least for cucumber-ruby. As you are using cucumber-jvm, there may be some differences.

May I suggest to continue the discussion here: https://github.com/cucumber/common/issues/1116?
