Could not resolve 'spring-boot-security-test' when testing service with mockk - spring-boot

Question

I'm currently getting the following error when I try to test my service:
Execution failed for task ':compileTestKotlin'.
> Error while evaluating property 'filteredArgumentsMap' of task ':compileTestKotlin'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':testCompileClasspath'.
> Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-security-test:.

Possible solution:
- Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html
Currently, my test file looks like this:
class UserServiceTest {
val userRepository: HireOutUserRepository = mockk()
val passwordEncoder: BCryptPasswordEncoder = BCryptPasswordEncoder()
val userService: UserService = UserServiceImpl(userRepository, passwordEncoder)
#Test
fun whenGetAllUsers_thenReturnSize() {
verify(exactly = 0) { userService.getUsers() }
}
}
and my build.gradle.kts looks like this:
import org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.tasks.KotlinCompile
plugins {
id("org.springframework.boot") version "3.0.1"
id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.1.0"
kotlin("jvm") version "1.7.22"
kotlin("plugin.spring") version "1.7.22"
}
group = "com.jre"
version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
java.sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")
//implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc")
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")
runtimeOnly("com.h2database:h2")
//testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-security-test")
testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test") {
exclude(group = "org.junit.vintage", module = "junit-vintage-engine")
exclude(group = "org.mockito", module = "mockito-core")
}
testImplementation("org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine")
testImplementation("io.mockk:mockk:1.13.2")
}
tasks.withType<KotlinCompile> {
kotlinOptions {
freeCompilerArgs = listOf("-Xjsr305=strict")
jvmTarget = "17"
}
}
tasks.withType<Test> {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
I'm not sure what is going on to cause the error to trigger as this should be a simple test scenario in my code.
Thanks

Dependency is incorrect. The correct dependency is this.
testImplementation 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-test'
Please add this in build.gradle file and try again
