When I run test as maven build no html report gets generated

[softwaredev999]

Hello,

Serenity + Cucumber

When I run as maven build, no html report get generated. Folder "target" is completely blank. I do not see anything in target folder even after I refresh the project in eclipse.

When I run the runner file as jUnit test html reports get generated. I see all the contents under target folder.

POM.xml

Runner file

package runner;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity;
@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(features="src/test/resources/features/createaccounts.feature",glue="stepDefinitions")
public class RunCuke {

}

May I know why "target" directory is blank when I run tests as maven build?

Not sure why it says "[INFO] Deleting C:\Users.......\Serenity_Project\target"?

Maven command used too run this?

There is <serenity.maven.version>3.2.0</serenity.maven.version> property in your POM, while no serenity maven plugin, so it's no one to generate this HTML report.

Add a plugin and configure its stage, then should work as expected, e.g. as in the example project https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber-starter

            <plugin>
                <groupId>net.serenity-bdd.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>serenity-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${serenity.version}</version>
                <configuration>
                    <tags>${tags}</tags>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>serenity-reports</id>
                        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>aggregate</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
