Description

I have seen this issue many times and always it was a user error because the file is in wrong place on the file system. This issue improves sanity check in the plugin and eagerly has to crash the plugin while the file does not exist and explain the root cause on the console.

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue concerns Maven Surefire's handling of in the POM; start by tracing the plugin configuration and compare SUREFIRE-1841. Reproduce the case with a missing suite XML path, then verify the plugin fails early and explains the missing file instead of silently running no tests.
