I am using Spring Boot and using Java Faker dependency. I am getting the below error. I am of opinion that spring boot works out of the box and should take of versions. Where am I going wrong?

Description:
An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.springframework.boot.env.OriginTrackedYamlLoader.createYaml(OriginTrackedYamlLoader.java:69)
The following method did not exist:
'void org.yaml.snakeyaml.LoaderOptions.setMaxAliasesForCollections(int)'
The method's class, org.yaml.snakeyaml.LoaderOptions, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/app/lib/snakeyaml-1.23-android.jar!/org/yaml/snakeyaml/LoaderOptions.class
jar:file:/app/lib/snakeyaml-1.28.jar!/org/yaml/snakeyaml/LoaderOptions.class
The class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:
org.yaml.snakeyaml.LoaderOptions: file:/app/lib/snakeyaml-1.23-android.jar
Action:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.yaml.snakeyaml.LoaderOptions

Thanks for reporting this issue, and yes, there's a few issues with this library, the incompatibility with Spring Boot is one of them. That's why we created a port of this library, which does work with spring boot. You can find it at https://www.datafaker.net, and requires only minimal code changes to get it up and running, only the package name changed (plus we have many improvements, no security issues, etc)
