Thymeleaf cannot detect templates inside spring-boot project
I have the following project structure in my Spring Boot Application where I want to use Thymeleaf
projectName
-Gradle-Module1(Spring boot module)
-build
-src
-main
-resources
-templates
index.html
build.gradle
-Gradle-Module2
...
build.gradle
...
but spring-boot cannot find my template directory and shows warning
Cannot find template location: classpath:/templates/ (please add some templates or check your Thymeleaf configuration)
PS: I am using @EnableAutoConfiguration
In my controller code, I am doing something like
@Controller
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class BaseController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/")
public String index() {
return "index.html";
}
}
and the index.html
file just prints hello world.
so it usually has to look inside src/resources/templates/
(from the same Gradle module, I suppose), but somehow it can't find it.
when i try to access localhost:8080
i get below error Error resolving template "index.html", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
is there something i can't see?
Any pointers appreciated.
Thank.

You need to configure Thymeleaf as follows:
@Configuration
public class ThymeleafConfig {
@Bean
public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
templateResolver.setCacheable(false);
templateResolver.setPrefix("classpath:/templates/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
return templateResolver;
}
@Bean
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine() {
SpringTemplateEngine springTemplateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
springTemplateEngine.addTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
return springTemplateEngine;
}
@Bean
public ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver() {
ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
viewResolver.setOrder(1);
return viewResolver;
}
}
Spring doc recommends adding annotation @EnableAutoConfiguration
to your main class @Configuration
.
It also seems like you have the wrong project structure, typical package hierarchy:
src
|- main
|- java
|- resources
|- static
|- templates
|- test
In this case, your templates will be in src/main/resources/templates
, not in src/resources/templates/
.
