THE thing is reports are not getting generated in surefire reports folder even after the test has completed running. I think i need to add reporting tag somewhere . i tried to add after build tag but it showed a error. how can i correct this pom.xml?

[linda russel]

 mvn surefire-report:report 

with the following command in command line i got the test running and got the test report generated in site folder but could not send email. how do i change my pom.xml in such a way that it executes the test first and then sends the report in a single command ?

I always generate a site for my projects and specific which reports are to be included in the site (it includes the surefire reports):

. . .
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-site-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <generateSitemap>true</generateSitemap>
          <generateReports>true</generateReports>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <!-- Include the unit test reports in the site -->
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.12</version>
      </plugin>
      <!-- Include the various project reports in the site -->
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4</version>
      </plugin>
      <!-- Include the javadoc for the classes in the site -->
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.8.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <description>The javadoc for the Package plugin classes</description>
          <show>private</show>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </reporting>
. . .

Finally, builds are done in Jenkins and I either set up Jenkins to send an email after the build, or I let people register with the RSS feeds in Jenkins.

Builds are done using the command:

mvn install site

I think that that should also work for you (you can also use "package" or "install" instead of "deploy")

Thanks for the reply. but i still do not understand why i get a error when i put a reporting tag under the build tag. At what level should i put the Reporting tag in case of my POM.xml?
