[SUREFIRE-507] Not able to get a surefire report with failed Junit Tests

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Not A Problem
• Affects Version/s: 2.4.3
• Component/s: JUnit 3.x support
• Environment: Ubuntu 8.04, Maven 2.0.9, Surefire Report plugin 2.4.3
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

First of all I set up an example Maven Project from quickstart archetype and wrote some JUnit 3 Testdummy methods. One of these dummy test methods is set to fail.

After integration of the surefire-report-plugin version 2.4.3 into pom.xml it produces an Maven Build failure.
The surefire report-site has a table of statistics with failed tests and successful test. So it makes no sense when Maven (Goal site:site or site:run) fails and reports are shown only if everything was tested successful.

Is this a bug or how can I configure my pom correctly to resolve this problem?
