im trying to update from spring-boot 3.1.9 to 3.3.1. When i update tests using wiremock start failing.

I read about the standalone version,
and have updated my gradle script accordingly from "com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock:3.0.0-beta-10" to "com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock-standalone:3.0.1"

However i also have a spring "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner:4.1.2") dependency and that one in turn uses wiremock-jre8-standalone

i have tried to manually remove that one like so

  testImplementation("com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock-standalone:3.0.1")
  testImplementation("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-contract-stub-runner:4.1.2") {
        exclude(group = "com.github.tomakehurst", module = "wiremock-jre8-standalone")
    }

and force the new one to be used

configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force("com.github.tomakehurst:wiremock-standalone:3.0.1")
        }
    }

    configurations.all {
        exclude(group = "com.github.tomakehurst", module = "wiremock-jre8-standalone")
    }

however i still get the same result

i have followed the advice here removing the dependency and keeping only the one from spring-cloud, however I still have the same issue. https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-contract/issues/2104#issuecomment-1962882969
