behavex 4.0.2 generates invalid failure XML

[aconti-ns1]

Describe the bug
XML files generated by behavex contain invalid <failure> tags: the type attribute is unquoted and the CDATA is empty.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run behavex 4.0.2 with failing tests (see Additional Context for my minimal configuration)
2. behavex -o reports
3. Check the XML in reports/behave/
4. Observe the <failure> tag:

<failure type=Exception message=''>
    <![CDATA[  ]]>
</failure>

Expected behavior
The <failure> tag should contain a quoted value for the type attribute and the failing test step information should be contained in the CDATA:

<failure type="Assertionerror" message=''>
    <![CDATA[ Failing step: -- OMITTED OUTPUT -- ]]>
</failure>

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux (Ubuntu 22.04.4), macOS (14.4)
• behavex Version 4.0.2

Additional context
I have confirmed this is not related to behave, I have invoked behave with behavex installed at both 3.2.0 and 4.0.2 and behave generates valid XML in both cases.

I have a minimal configuration which will reproduce the issue:

features/steps/steps.py

from behave import step

@step("the test fails")
def fail_step(context):
    assert(False), "FAIL!"

features/sample.feature

Feature: Sample test
  Scenario: A failing scenario
    Given the test fails
