Can Maven `test` issue warning if no tests exist?

Does Maven have an option to issue a warning if the test sub-command is used, but the project it's being used on contains no tests? I've tried tests where I ran mvn clean compile test ... on a project that did not have a src/test directory. The test sub-command just reported that no tests were found and continues without error. Is there a way so that if test is used, but no tests are found, that it "complain" about it? I could then look for the complaint in the log and take actions from there.

Solution

There is an option for surefire plugin: failIfNoTests.

You can add as user property:

mvn test -DfailIfNoTests

or add in project configuration:

<pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>ues-the-latest</version>
      <configuration>
        <failIfNoTests>true</failIfNoTests>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  <plugins>
<pluginManagement>

The same options is also for failsafe:
