The dashboard.html file is created in the folder where you kick off pytest. It needs to be created there so that relative links to the log files work properly.

There are a few things you can do to change the location of the dashboard path:

• You could kick off your tests from a different folder, and then the dashboard.html file will be generated from that folder when you use --dashboard.
• You can use --html=report.html / --html=folder/report.html, and then the report (which is similar to the dashboard) will be generated in the chosen location.
• You could run a script to move the dashboard.html file to a new location after your tests complete. You may also want to move the ./latest_logs/ folder if you do that.
