why maven-enforcer-plugin always fails even when there are rules

Although I read the maven-enforcer-plugin documentation, running mvn enforcer:enforce always fails.

This is pom.xml taken from the documentation

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project
  xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <plugins>

        <version>3.5.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>enforce</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>enforce</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <rules>
                <AlwaysPass/>
              </rules>
              <fail>true</fail>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

This is the execution and output of mvn enforcer:enforce

Although the rules for maven-enforcer-plugin exist in pom.xml, it fails with No rules are configured. Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly?

I guess you need to move the <configuration> out of the <executions>.
