Description

Running mvn site with surefire-reports-plugin enabled and configured generates an empty surefire-report.html.

Using the (new and recommended) <reportsDirectories> works with version 2.7.1, but is broken with 2.7.2 and 2.8!
The (now deprecated) <reportsDirectory> works with all versions.

site-plugin 3 configuration:

  ...
  <reportPlugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>

    <configuration>
      ...
      <!-- WORKS ALWAYS -->
      <!--reportsDirectory>${test.reportsDirectory}</reportsDirectory-->

      <!-- WORKS with 2.7.1, but NOT with 2.7.2 / 2.8 -->
      <reportsDirectories>
        <reportsDirectory>${test.reportsDirectory}</reportsDirectory>
      </reportsDirectories>
    </configuration>
  ...
