    f = open(self.path)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/tox.ini'

I have not needed tox.ini before and I cannot set the path for tox.ini now.

My previous rootdir, according to pytest output was:

============================================================================= test session starts ==============================================================================
platform linux -- Python 3.6.7, pytest-4.5.0, py-1.9.0, pluggy-0.13.1
rootdir: /home/USER/GROUP/ggd/ggd-cli
plugins: socket-0.3.3

pytest is being run in /home/USER/GROUP/ggd/ggd-cli

Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix the problem
