Getting `HOOK-ERROR in after_step` if `context.execute_steps` used in any step of Behave Scenario.

I'm submitting a ...

bug report

What is the current behavior?

When ever I am using the plugin and executing behave tests I am getting error HOOK-ERROR in after_step: KeyError: everytime If any step of the Scenario is using method context.execute_steps.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem

Yes above behavior is a bug,
How to reproduce the issue:
I am putting my directory structure:

 features/
├── environment.py
├── steps
│   └── fir.py
└── test
    └── first.feature

2 directories, 3 files

Here content of first.feature file

Feature: Learn Behave

  Scenario: Testing diffrent data transfer
    Given Simple function "value of xyz"

Content of fir.py

from behave import Given, When, Then
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

@Given("Simple function {xyz}")
def simp(context, xyz):
	context.execute_steps(u"""
		given test func 2
		""")
	assert True

@Given("test func 2")
def text(context):
	assert True

Content of environment.py

from allure_behave.hooks import allure_report
allure_report()

And when I try to run my feature file I am getting error HOOK-ERROR in after_step: KeyError: 'some uuid'

What is the expected behavior?

Behave tests should work fine.

Please tell us about your environment:

• Allure version: 2.8.40
• Test framework: behave 1.2.6
• Python: Python 3.8.7

Closing the issue as it get resolved by following workaround.

Reopening the issue as the above work workaround didn't work I tried it a lot.
So this will work only if I add a behave.ini file in root dir of project.

format=allure_behave.formatter:AllureFormatter
outfiles=allure-results

But if I add allure_report() in environment.py then it won't work.
or we can change/add this workaround on https://pypi.org/project/allure-behave/

and my new environment.py looks like this.

import allure_commons
from allure_behave.hooks import allure_report
from behave.formatter import _registry as _format_registry
from behave.formatter.base import Formatter, StreamOpener


class Marker(Formatter):
    def __init__(self, stream_opener, config):
        super(Marker, self).__init__(stream_opener, config)

    def step(self, step):
        setattr(step, "__captured", True)

    def result(self, result):
        if hasattr(result, "__captured"):
            delattr(result, "__captured")


def before_all(context):
    stream_opener = StreamOpener()
    _format_registry.register_as("Marker", Marker)
    formatter_class = _format_registry.select_formatter_class("Marker")
    formatter_object = formatter_class(stream_opener, context.config)
    context._runner.formatters.append(formatter_object)


def before_step(context, step):
    name = u'{keyword} {title}'.format(keyword=step.keyword, title=step.name)
    captured = getattr(step, "__captured", False)
    if not captured:
        allure_commons.plugin_manager.hook.start_step(uuid=None, title=name, params={})


def after_step(context, step):
    captured = getattr(step, "__captured", False)
    if not captured:
        exc_type = type(step.exception)
        exc_val = step.exception
        exc_tb = step.exc_traceback
        allure_commons.plugin_manager.hook.stop_step(uuid=None, title=None,
                                                     exc_type=exc_type, exc_val=exc_val, exc_tb=exc_tb)
allure_report()
