rebar3 as test compile not fetching test dependencies

[Tristan Sloughter]

Really weird. I just copy/pasted the commands and config you have here and it fetches the test deps as expected:

$ rebar3 as test compile
===> Verifying dependencies...
===> Fetching gun v1.3.3
===> Fetching meck v0.9.2
===> Fetching cowlib v2.7.3
===> Analyzing applications...
===> Compiling meck
===> Compiling cowlib
===> Compiling gun
_build/test/lib/gun/src/gun.erl:654:29: Warning: erlang:get_stacktrace/0 is removed; use the new try/catch syntax for retrieving the stack backtrace

===> Analyzing applications...
===> Compiling chk

$ rebar3 -v
rebar 3.18.0 on Erlang/OTP 24 Erts 12.0.1

How do you install rebar3? Are you downloading the escript or building from source? (Just throwing out random thoughts of what could be different).
