ConverterNotFoundException when upgrading from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0

[marcel-becker]

Describe the bug

When I upgrade my gradle dependency version from:

org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui:2.4.0 to org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui:2.5.0

I get an error when starting my spring boot application:

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

Description:

Failed to bind properties under 'springdoc' to org.springdoc.core.properties.SpringDocConfigProperties:

    Reason: org.springframework.core.convert.ConverterNotFoundException: No converter found capable of converting from type [java.lang.String] to type [org.springdoc.core.properties.SpringDocConfigProperties]

Action:

Update your application's configuration

In my application.yml I have:

springdoc:
  swagger-ui:
    operationsSorter: method
    path: /swagger-ui.html

With version 2.4, the applications starts without any problem.
