Stub Mappings are not found

I need to build a standalone wiremock service which will act a replacement for a future service. It wont have any tests in it. Just mock templates.

Trying to use the spring-cloud-contract-wiremock, with spring boot… Reason being, it provides some functionalities that i want to use. All my json mappings are located under resources/wiremock/mappings/v1 (5 template files) and the files under resources/wiremock/__files (5 corresponding response body files).

My Dependencies:

       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-contract-wiremock</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

Configuration:

@Configuration
@AutoConfigureWireMock(stubs = "classpath:/wiremock")
public class WireMockConfig {

    @Bean
    public WireMockConfigurationCustomizer wireMockConfigurationCustomizer() {
        return config -> config.preserveHostHeader(true)
                .containerThreads(150)
                .notifier(new Slf4jNotifier(true))
                .extensions(new ResponseTemplateTransformer(false));
    }

    @Bean
    public ObjectMapper objectMapper() {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
        return objectMapper;
    }
}

Since, content of resources (src/main/resources) folder is available at classpath, i have given stub location as classpath:/wiremock.

However its unable to find any mappings. I get response that No response could be served as there are no stub mappings in this WireMock instance.

NOTE: My application works fine if i use plain wiremock dependency with spring boot
