Pact Provider #State Test always returning 404 - spring

Question

I am able to get a test running for a Spring Boot Project but I'm always getting a 404 on the #State test.
#TargetRequestFilter
public void exampleRequestFilter(HttpRequest request) {
System.out.println(request.toString());
request.addHeader("Authorization", JIMMY_CARTER_TOKEN);
}
#BeforeClass
public static void setupApplication() {
SpringApplication application = new SpringApplication(App.class);
application.setAdditionalProfiles("integration");
application.run("--server.port=9000");
}
#TestTarget
public final HttpTarget target = new HttpTarget("http", "127.0.0.1", 9000);
#State("user id") // Method will be run before testing interactions that require "default" or "no-data" state
public void toUserId() {
System.out.println("Test User Id");
}
What's strange is I can tell it's hitting the right endpoint by printing out the request information and the Authorization header. I put a debug statement in and verified that I can call with the same credentials and endpoint as the test. However the test is always failing with a 404. Is there something I'm missing in my setup?

You can see what requests are being made by enabling debug logging with the Apache HTTP Client and the pact-jvm libraries. For Apache HTTP Client, please refer to https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html.
For an example of what the debug logs you are looking for, this is from the example ContractTest from pact-jvm (https://github.com/DiUS/pact-jvm/blob/master/pact-jvm-provider-junit/src/test/java/au/com/dius/pact/provider/junit/ContractTest.java):
