Report HTML file has no results and no *.brick files are created after brick run

[nstarke]

Hello,
I ran brick against a UEFI image I pulled using chipsec, and I'm seeing that the brick script runs successfully, but there are 0 results in the outputted html file. I also don't see any *.brick files being created. This seemed odd that there were no results at all, so I thought I would ask for guidance on where the *.brick files are written to the filesystem so I can debug the issue myself. Thanks for your help.

I was able to get past this problem by making a small patch:

diff --git a/brick/ida/utils/brick_utils.py b/brick/ida/utils/brick_utils.py
index b40fb67..4535a0d 100644

After applying this patch I see the brick files are created.

If this is a desired change I am happy to create a PR. If not, I will close this issue. Thanks!
