maven sure-fire plugin report empty - maven

Question

My requirement is to run multiple SOAPUI test cases via maven , automate it's build using jenkins and generate a report of the test results.
I have successfully done except the last part.
Now i want to generate a html report of results of all the test cases.
I used maven-surefire-report-plugin to do so.
I have followed this article
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-report-plugin/usage.html
The test case is successful and report is generated successfully but there are no records in the report.
Am i missing something here? Is there any configuration parameter to set the source path for generating reports or something?
surefire report is generated in ${project.build.directory}/site folder.
Output files of the SOAPUI test case is generated at ${project.build.directory}/reports folder.
This is the pom.xml i have written
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

Answer 1

First line of the Maven Surefire Report Plugin Introduction says:
The Surefire Report Plugin parses the generated TEST-*.xml files under ${basedir}/target/surefire-reports ...
So if you change your soapui-maven-plugin to:
<outputFolder>${basedir}/target/surefire-reports</outputFolder>
That should work.
There are also additional instructions how to change the default location for the maven-surefire-report-plugin.

Sample pom.xml where reports are also being created with mvn site command.
