spring-boot-starter-restclient + spring-boot-starter-test gives compliation error

[anbusampath]

When new spring-boot-starter-restclient used along with spring-boot-starter-test gives compilation error. If spring-boot-starter-test removed from the dependencies application works fine.

Sample with compilation error - https://github.com/anbusampath/2025-07-22-declarative-interface-clients-in-spring-boot-4

Sample without spring-boot-starter-test - https://github.com/anbusampath/2025-07-22-declarative-interface-clients-in-spring-boot-4/tree/without-spring-boot-starter-test

I guess exclusion from spring-boot-starter-test impacting the transtive dependency of spring-boot-starter-restclient.

Thanks for reporting this. 108ca64 introduced the problem. That change was later refined in 1758f50. I'm not sure what we can do instead, but we'll have to do something.
