I have:
<body bgcolor="#ffffff"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="file:///"></script>

Yes. I'm running from the build dir. I am pretty sure that graphical reports
worked from the build dir for GnuCash 3.x. Is this no longer the case?

There is a borrowed/chartjs/Chart.bundle.min.js file in the source dir
and a borrowed/chartjs directory in the build dir, but only cmake files and
a Makefile are in this directory.
