Cassandra unit with Spring boot

[SS]

Hi,

Anybody have any luck with integrating Cassandra-unit-spring with spring boot? 

I initially ran into yaml issues which i solved by adding a snakeyaml 1.9 dependency. I currently have the following dependencies,

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
    <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
    <version>1.9</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.cassandraunit</groupId>
    <artifactId>cassandra-unit-spring</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.3.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Error I run into,

What am I doing wrong here with respect to dependencies?
