Allow opening generated html report in browser

[ssbarnea]

By default terminals would open files in editors and URLs in browsers.

By printing the generated html report using an URL (file://) we enable
users to click the terminal to open it. Previously this opened the file
in the text editor which is very unlikely to be what user would want.

file://foo is not a correct file URL, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme - also, you'd probably want to print the absolute filename there, I don't think relative file URLs are a thing.

At that point, I'd probably print both though, to make it easier to copy-paste the filename...

Actually, file:// should work, since pytest-html already prints the absolute path: /Users/jimbrannlund/dev/proxy/api/test/e2e/report.html

Yep, the path is not relative by default which means that adding file:// prefix makes it valid. I tested and worked fine for me (final url has 3 slashes).

LGTM 👍 Maybe @RibeiroAna want's to have a say as well?

[The-Compiler]

Ah, sorry, my bad! Didn't see that the path was absolute.

[ssbarnea]

Any chance to see this merged and ideally included in a release? I kinda miss it.

@RibeiroAna Thanks!
