Description

Because pom projects do not have tests, It is not necessary to create the "target/failsafe-reports/failsafe-summary.xml" file for these projects.
The behavior should be the same as the surefire plugin which works as expected.

Maven configuration:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.22.2</version>
	<configuration>
		<!--suppress UnresolvedMavenProperty -->
		<argLine>${argLine} --enable-preview</argLine>
	</configuration>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>failsafe-integration-test</id>
			<goals>
				<goal>integration-test</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
		<execution>
			<id>failsafe-verify</id>
			<goals>
				<goal>verify</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

Maven output:

[INFO] --- maven-failsafe-plugin:2.22.2:integration-test (failsafe-integration-test) @ parent-project ---
[INFO] No tests to run.
