Hello,
i'm trying to use the surefire-report plugin to generate html files based
on the result of the execution of my JUnit tests.
I had the following declarations in my pom.xml file:
<reporting>
<plugins>
<!-- Reports section configuration -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId
>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</
artifactId>
<configuration/>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
Everything's working fine except that each time the surefire-report plugin
is invoked by maven, it sounds like it just forces the execution of the
test phase.
So, when i try to build my project using the command: mvn install site, i
have all the phases related to the install goal executed and then the
following output:
-----------------
Preparing surefire-report:report
[resources:resources]
...
[compiler:compile]
...
[resources:testResources]
...
[compiler:testCompile]
....
[surefire:test]
...
[surefire-report:report]
...
-------------------
compilation and test execution are invoked twice and this is a dramatic
overhead on the building time of my project.
Is there anything that can be done to have the surefire-report plugin just
doing its job (wich is get the xml from target/surefire-report/ and
generate html in target/site according to the documentation) and not
forcing compilation and tests execution ?
Regards,
Pascal
