spring boot failed to start after migrating from 1.5 to 2.0

Question

After migrating from 1.5 to 2.0, I got the following error.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Binding to target [Bindable@7178d811 type = org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties, value = 'provided', annotations = array<Annotation>[[empty]]] failed:

    Property: server
    Value: 
    Origin: "server" from property source "class path resource [application.yml]"
    Reason: No converter found capable of converting from type [java.lang.String] to type [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.web.ServerProperties]

Action:

Update your application's configuration

After running an existing Junit Test, I got the error as follows:
