Erroneous spring-boot-starter-test content

Getting a compilation error in Maven:

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :

Maven repo seems to have the jar present:

howerever that jar doesn't have any compiled classes inside it. only META-INF dir:

Is that by design? Where do I get the jar containing SpringApplicationConfiguration class to make Maven happy?

Here's the relevant parts of my pom.xml:
