How to avoid running surefire unit test with 'mvn site'

Question

whenever I run 'mvn site' all my surefire unit tests gets executed. Is there any way to avoid running surefire unit tests while running mvn site. My pom is as mentioned below. I am using the below pom in parent project and all the modules are children of this pom.

<plugins>
    <!--For Unit tests -->
    <plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${surefire.version}</version>
    </plugin>
    <!--For executing Integration tests in integration-test phase -->
    <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${failsafe.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <excludes>
        <exclude>**/*Test.java</exclude>
        </excludes>
        <includes>
        <include>**/*IT.java</include>
        </includes>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
        <phase>integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>integration-test</goal>
            <goal>verify</goal>
        </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
<!--For generating unit and integration test reports -->
<reporting>
    <plugins>
    <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-project-info-reports-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.7</version>
        <reportSets>
        <reportSet>
            <reports>
            <!--Disable all default reports -->
            </reports>
        </reportSet>
        </reportSets>
    </plugin>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${surefire.version}</version>
        <configuration>
        <aggregate>true</aggregate>
        <linkXRef>true</linkXRef>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
    </plugins>
</reporting>

Answer 1

As per plugin documentation , use report-only

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-report-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${surefire.version}</version>
    <reportSets>
        <reportSet>
            <reports>
                <report>report-only</report>
            </reports>
        </reportSet>
    </reportSets>
</plugin>

surefire-report:report-only : Creates a nicely formatted Surefire Test Report in html format. This goal does not run the tests, it only builds the reports. This is a workaround for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-257

尝试使用mvn -DskipTests=true site 。
