I've tried relative and absolute paths, but reports always end up in ${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports.

The reason I want to reconfigure this is because Jenkins looks for the test results in target/surefire-reports and I want to use the rspec_junit_formatter but I haven't found a way to specify the formatter I want rspec-maven-plugin to use so I add it to rspec.args like this:

mvn clean install -Drspec.args="--format RspecJunitFormatter --out target/surefire-reports/TEST-rspec-junit.xml ./src/test/ruby/"
