This is not a technical question at all really. However, I can not locate my .HTML report that is supposed to be generated using:

py.test --cov-report html pytest/01_smoke.py

I thought for sure it would place it in the parent location, or the test script location. Does neither and I have not been able to locate. So I am thinking it is not being generated at all?

Yes, I had. I'll post here to show it gives no more info than I have already. --cov-report=type type of report to generate: term, term-missing, annotate, html, xml (multi-allowed) – Dave Jul 9, 2013 at 21:31 Thanks, hpk42. That did work. The output .html is basically a printout of the script, but. It's a step forward. – Dave Jul 11, 2013 at 18:41

if you do not specify --cov=/path/to/code then it will not generate the html at all.

We can see that there is no message that output was created... However if we specify --cov=...

---------- coverage: platform linux2, python 2.7.12-final-0 ----------
Coverage HTML written to dir htmlcov
We now see that there are no stats for tests that passed, instead we see that coverage was written to HTML and sent to the default directory: ./htmlcov
NOTE: if you want a different directory, then affix :/path/to/directory to the output style html -> py.test --cov-report html:/path/to/htmldir test_smoke.py --cov=/path/to/code
If you see a plain html file, this is an indication that your problem is the --cov=/path/to/my/pkg perhaps... are you sure that the code you are testing lives here?
If you want to generate report in html, give full file path of the test file.  
py.test --cov-report html test_file_name.py --cov=/home/ubuntu/venv/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/test/
Then start a python server 
python -m http.server 
Navigate to the html file in htmlcov directory
http://0.0.0.0:8000/venv/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/htmlcov/
You will see the report
