Wiremock not availabile to tests despite being in the POM file

Question

I'm trying to spin up a mock HTTP server for my testing, but I cannot get Wiremock to work.

On the mvnrepository.com website, it is suggested as such:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.github.tomakehurst/wiremock -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.tomakehurst</groupId>
    <artifactId>wiremock</artifactId>
    <version>2.9.0</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

This however, does not make it available to my test class when trying to import it as such:

import static com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.client.WireMock.*;

If I remove the <type>pom</type> tag, I can import it but it then fails at runtime because it does not pull in all of the transitive dependencies it needs (such as the Apache Httpclient).

I am not really sure what <type>pom</type> does, as it's not really clear from other explanations, so I don't know how to get past this.

Have you tried `import`? https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 21:22
After looking at the pom https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/github/tomakehurst/wiremock/2.9.0/wiremock-2.9.0.pom there is nothing special about it. It should definitely be `jar` (the default). What is the exact error you see? — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 21:31
I just tried it, I get no problems. There must be something more to your setup! — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 21:34
@SiKing I have tried commenting certain parts of the pom.xml file, but to no avail. There must be something else, but I don't know what it might be. I've pasted my full pom.xml file if you want to take a look. Thanks for the help! — cgf, Oct 18 '17 at 21:45
Start with `mvn validate` and fix all errors and warnings. If you need more hints use `-X`. Then repeat with `mvn compile` and eventually `mvn test-compile`. If you do not know how to get past a specific error, post the text of that error. — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 21:52
What exactly is your intention with the `` block? What exactly is your intention with the `` block? — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 21:54
The `` block is just standard Spring Boot stuff - https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/getting-started-first-application.html. If you have any suggestions, I'm more than happy to remove it. — cgf, Oct 18 '17 at 21:58
I've done `mvn validate`, `mvn compile` and `mvn test-comple`. It does get stuck in the test one with: `package com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.junit does not exist` and `package com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.client does not exist`. — cgf, Oct 18 '17 at 21:59
Still cannot reproduce. `mvn dependecy:tree` will tell you who is trying to pull it in. — SiKing, Oct 18 '17 at 22:11

Try removing <type>pom</type> from the dependency.
