Maven plugin to export junit results

Question

I have a test project, to test a third party code. I have created a few JUnit tests for that, but since my tests are on src/main/java instead of src/tests, I don't think I can use surefire to export my test results.

I need the test results to be exported as xml, for jenkins to read them, but couldn't find a way to do that considering my tests are not on src/tests.

Could I still use surefire for that? Is there any other maven plugin to do that?

You can use the testSourceDirectory tag of the Maven Surefire Plugin's configuration to override the default directory from where Test Classes are chosen.

Please refer below links for more information:

You can also specify `src/main/java` as per https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html – SpaceTrucker Jun 29 '17 at 14:03
My problem is that even if I change the directory in the build to src/main/java, I would still have to use "mvn test" to run the tests. In my case, I produce an executable jar, and the tests are run using "java -jar" – Alexander Rumanovsk Jun 29 '17 at 14:28
If that's the case, why not add a main method to your JUnit Test Suite as explained in this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4648341/how-to-export-junit-test-suite-as-executable-jar ? – JSN Jun 29 '17 at 14:32
@Beginner I have a TestRunner class just like this one. I just need that when I run this main method, the test results to be exported to xml, just like surefire would do when I run "mvn test". This way, Jenkins can read them. – Alexander Rumanovsk Jun 29 '17 at 14:51

For those who might be interested in this, I was able to export XML reports adding a listener to JUnitCore, following the example described here: https://ttddyy.github.io/generate-junit-xml-report-from-junitcore/

If you are interested on doing this, I suggest you take a look at cloudbee's code here: https://github.com/cloudbees/junit-standalone-runner

Here is my TestRunner code:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultFormatter;
import org.junit.internal.TextListener;
import org.junit.runner.Computer;
import org.junit.runner.Description;
import org.junit.runner.JUnitCore;

import com.myproject.suites.MainTestSuite;
import com.myproject.util.JUnitResultFormatterAsRunListener;

public class TestRunner {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    if (args.length <= 0) {
      throw new RuntimeException("Reports dir must be on arg[0]");
    }

    final File reportDir = new File(args[0]);

    JUnitCore junit = new JUnitCore();
    junit.addListener(new TextListener(System.out));
    if (reportDir != null) {
      reportDir.mkdirs();
      junit.addListener(new JUnitResultFormatterAsRunListener(new XMLJUnitResultFormatter()) {
        @Override
        public void testStarted(Description description) throws Exception {
          formatter.setOutput(new FileOutputStream(new File(reportDir, "TEST-" + description.getDisplayName()
            + ".xml")));
          super.testStarted(description);
        }
      });
    }
    junit.run(new Computer(), MainTestSuite.class).getFailureCount();

  }
}
