[FIXED] Using dependencies properties yml vs .yaml springboot

Issue

i have 2 projects, a db-sdk project which has all the models and repositories, and the db properties file (application.yml), and is a dependency of the project db-api. In db-api i want to use db-sdk's properties from it's application.yml file, but for some reason it works only with .yaml or .properties extensions, if i use .yml, the default properties for the db are used. Why is it so? isn't yaml and yml the same?

Solution

I'm pretty sure this happens because you can't have 2 application.yml files with the same name, so it ignores the second one. With other extensions it is not considered the same file name so it works.
