Fail to generate allure-results directory based on JUnit 4

I failed to generate the directory allure-results in my project. I have tried many methods from google(create src/test/resources/allure.properties, set <resultsDirectory>${project.build.directory}/allure-results</resultsDirectory> in pom.xml, etc.), but all setting seems not to take effect. I also failed to redirect the result to other directories. It always said "[ERROR] Directory <project_path>/target/allure-results not found".
My command to generate report is
mvn clean test -Dtest=aaaTestClass io.qameta.allure:allure-maven:report
My pom.xml is like:

The profile setup seems to be a mixture of Junit4 and JUnit5 configuration for Allure reports. Clean this up first, suggest the below for the first profile based on Junit4:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>aaa</id>
<build>
<plugins>

<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>

</plugin>

</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
The configuration should generate the results in the default location of <project_path>/target/allure-results
There also is an issue with the mvn command. The first part of the command is mvn clean it will ensure that any existing target directory is removed before the next part of the command, in this case test.
The command as noted above is a two part command, the second effectively being mvn io.qameta.allure:allure-maven:report.
In summary, both mvn commands are being executed at the same time:
one that removes the target directory(mvn clean) or awaiting to create it (mvn test)
second that wants to generate a report in the target directory that does not exist or awaiting to be created by the above
Also to note that the second part of the command could also cause an exception even if the target directory did exist. As no allure results would have been created as the mvn test still needs to execute a test result / complete the test execution suite
The requirement here is a mvn cli command that will run both commands consequentially, use the && syntax like this:
mvn clean test -Dtest=aaaTestClass && mvn allure:report
This will run the test suite to completion and then generate the report
The report should generated in the following location:
<project_path>/target/site/allure-maven/index.html

In my project, I just add this dependency to fix this issue:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-junit4</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M7</version>
</dependency>

when i install using mvn clean install the build is successful but when i tried to execute the .jar file using java -jar file.jar it gives this error
Error: Could not find or load main class com.randomperson.hello.App
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: groovy/lang/GroovyObject
I am not quite sure how groovy work with maven but it seems that it does not include the groovy library specifically the groovy-all which is declared in dependencies.
I am using OpenJDK11 & Groovy 4.0.2
am I missing something?
Thank you in advance.

but there is a version conflict in the POM file and an error in the dependency hierarchy
snapshot of the eclipse ide when there is an error
I have forced updated more than 10 times and reinstalled eclipse multiple times and included the files and folders again but in vain. I have used maven enforcer as well as suggested by someone on the stack overflow itself but that too could not resolve the issue. Cucumber setup is a big headache instead a person can just write the document in plain english and use selenium to automate without cucumber integration!!!! Kindly tell how to resolve it

You can upgrade version of Gherkin:

failsafe plugin does not pick the test classes even though I have the correct naming convention *IT.java

I have searched on the internet as well, but I could not find the exact problem that I am having.
TO explain what I am doing, I am writing selenium UI tests. I am trying to execute the test using the failsafe plugin. I am executing the maven command mvn clean verify but it does not execute any of my test classes.
However, my test classes are getting executed when I change my test class to *Test.java
I suspect that my project does not use failsafe instead uses surefire. I am posting my pom file, project structure and the build output.
