analyze produces a broken output html report

Describe the bug When I use analyze to create an output.html report a non-functional HTML file is created.

The same result happens with the command line on macOS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I used the .NET SDK and attempted to create the report from a directory that wasn’t inside of the deployed application folder by using the dotnet tool.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ dotnet --list-sdks
3.1.401 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]


$ dotnet tool install --global Microsoft.CST.ApplicationInspector.CLI 
Since you just installed the .NET Core SDK, you will need to logout or restart your session before running the tool you installed.
You can invoke the tool using the following command: appinspector
Tool 'microsoft.cst.applicationinspector.cli' (version '1.2.58') was successfully installed.


$ appinspector

After performing the above steps I opened the HTML in Chromium via Open File and via browsing to the local HTTP server created by the python line at the very end of the steps pasted above.

Expected behavior I’d like a report in a single HTML file that functions like v1.2.53.

Screenshots Please see attached.

Additional context This is a follow-up to the question I raised on #273. It looks like I will need to go more in depth and I will open a new issue to track my specific issue.

I’ll attach the actual output files in a zip, incase it helps. This is a scan of an open source tool and is safe to disclose. Archive.zip

Great report. I can repro this on Mac OS.

Windows specific file path for those missing files. Testing fix now.
