implementation 'org.yaml:snakeyaml:2.0' doesn't work even with springboot 3.1.0

Question

I have upgraded from Springboot 2.7.12 to 3.1.0 in order to upgrade Snakeyaml dependency to 2.0 version, which isn't vulnerable. That required gradle and java version upgrade.

However, now I'm getting the below error, thre 2.0 snakeyaml isn't compatible. How to work that around?

As per my testing, Spring Boot `3.1.0` (even `3.1.2`) + SnakeYAML `2.0` works. There is no issue reading config properties from a YAML config file in `src/main/resources`. Perhaps you can share an MVP project that can show that it fails. — blackr1234, Aug 11 '23 at 04:32
