I was trying to fix my snyke vulnerabilities in my build.gradle by updating snakeyaml from 1.32 to 2.0
Got below error

2330 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication  - Application run failed
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml.<init>()V
    at org.springframework.boot.env.OriginTrackedYamlLoader.createYaml(OriginTrackedYamlLoader.java:80)~[spring-boot-2.6.12jar:2.6.12]
    t org.springframework.boot.env.OriginTrackedYamlLoader.createYaml(OriginTrackedYamlLoader.java:75)~[spring-boot-2.6.12jar:2.6.12]

To resolve the error follow below steps

Check the current SpringBoot version in build.gradle file
My current springBoot version in build.gradle file is 2.6.12.
Updating the SpringBoot version resolves the problem
To use Spring Boot 2.x with SnakeYAML 2.0 we have to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.7.10.
