Maven plugin doesn't create report with default settings

[ahus1]

In 0.12.1 when you used the maven plugin a HTML5 report was created by default when no format was given. With 0.13.0 when no format is given no report is created at all. No warning is given. The actual console output is given as shown below, but no report has actually been created.

[INFO] --- jgiven-maven-plugin:0.13.0:report (default-cli) @ *** ---
[INFO] JGiven HTML report source directory: ***
[INFO] JGiven HTML report output directory: ***
[INFO] Generating HTML reports to ***
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Generated JGiven HTML reports to directory ***

I quick search for the origin of this changed behavior in 0.13.0 revealed no clue for me what commit changed the behavior.

Expected behavior (to be discussed):

• when no configuration for the format of the report is given, a HTML5 report should be created
• when a format is given in the configuration that is not recognized, an error should be shown

BTW: When you pass null as a format to ReportGenerator#generate() no report will be created. Is that a feature or a bug?

I will have a look. I agree with the expected behavior :-)

If you could have a second look for the commit that lead to the changed behavior, I'm happy to provide a fix via PR to update the maven plugin (if you have time to wait a few days)

This is really mysterious. Actually the default value is 'html'. The only explanation I have is that v0.13.0 might have been built with a different Maven version and that the behavior of Maven has changed. I will check that.

[janschaefer]

I don't know what exactly the problem was, but I guess it was the use of the deprecated expression in the Maven Plugin.

[janschaefer]

I will publish a 0.13.1 version with the fix as soon as possible

v0.13.1 is released, could you verify that it works for you now?

v0.13.1 works as expected: no configuration produces a HTML5 report. Thanks!
