ExtentSparkReporter constructor throws NullPointerException if path argument don`t contains parrent fodler

[mishust1n]

Steps to reproduce:

  DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss");
        String fileName = "raport-" + LocalDateTime.now().format(formatter) + ".html";

        ExtentSparkReporter spark = new ExtentSparkReporter(Paths.get( fileName).toFile())

                .viewConfigurer()
                .viewOrder()
                .as(new ViewName[]{ViewName.TEST, ViewName.DASHBOARD, ViewName.EXCEPTION}).apply();

Observed behavior:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.AbstractFileReporter.<init>(AbstractFileReporter.java:45)
	at com.aventstack.extentreports.reporter.ExtentSparkReporter.<init>(ExtentSparkReporter.java:55)

Exception throws bolded line if (!parentFile.exists()) {

    protected AbstractFileReporter(File f) {
        this.file = f;
        File parentFile;
        if (Files.isDirectory(f.toPath(), new LinkOption[0])) {
            parentFile = f;
        } else {
            parentFile = f.getParentFile();
        }

        if (!parentFile.exists()) {
            parentFile.mkdirs();
        }

    }

If f argument created without parent folder (new File(fileName.html)), parent file will be always null,
But if argument will be new File (folderName\fileName.html) folder name and parent folder will be successfully created.

Expected behavior:

Argument f cab be just file name without parent folder.

Version: 5.0.4

This also happens when I tried to attach a screenshot to the report present in the current working directory.
File source = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(source, new File("image.png"));
test.pass("homepage",MediaEntityBuilder.createScreenCaptureFromPath("image.png").build());

The above code does not work and shows a broken image in the report. But just passing the current working directory with the below code works fine.
test.pass("homepage",MediaEntityBuilder.createScreenCaptureFromPath(System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/image.png").build());

Fixed. This will be introduced in 5.0.5. You can also use the 5.0.5-SNAPSHOT version starting now. :)
