[FIXED] Fail to generate allure-results directory based on JUnit 4

Issue

I failed to generate the directory allure-results in my project. I have tried many methods from google(create src/test/resources/allure.properties, set <resultsDirectory>${project.build.directory}/allure-results</resultsDirectory> in pom.xml, etc.), but all setting seems not to take effect. I also failed to redirect the result to other directories. It always said "[ERROR] Directory <project_path>/target/allure-results not found".

My command to generate report is

mvn clean test -Dtest=aaaTestClass  io.qameta.allure:allure-maven:report

My pom.xml is like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Solution

In my project, I just add this dependency to fix this issue:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
    <artifactId>surefire-junit4</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.0-M7</version>
</dependency>
