template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
The spring boot error template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers occurs when the template files are not available in src/main/resources/templates folder or the file name is incorrect. The exception org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template is thrown if the template file can not be found in the template folder..
When the spring boot application is configured as a view resolver, the HTML files in the template folder will be used to resolve them. If the thymeleaf can not locate the html file in the template folder, the error will be thrown. The reason may be either that the file is not available in the folder, or that the file name is incorrect.
In Spring boot, template files are added in src/main/resources/templates folder. If a file is not available in this folder and configured in controller class, this exception template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers will be thrown as the resolver could not identify the file
Exception
How to reproduce this issue
If a html file is not available in templates folder, when a controller requires this html file, this exception will be thrown. Add thymeleaf dependency in pom.xml
pom.xml
HelloWorldController.java
Open a browser and call this url http://localhost:8080/HelloWorld
Root Cause
When a url is invoked, controller searches the html file in the template folder. If the file is not available then this exception will be thrown. This could be either due to wrong view name in controller or the file is not available in template folder.
Solution 1
Check the calling controller method and verify the view name is correct or not. Change the correct view name in the controller method.
Solution 2
Check the html file is available in src/main/resources/templates folder. If the file is not available, add a new file. If the file exists in the folder, check the spelling mistake of the file name.
springboot-how to solve org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers when using spring framework with thymeleaf
Problem
When we run a spring boot or spring mvc application with thymeleaf, sometimes, when we visit the url:
this error would occur:
The core exception is:
Spring framework is complaining that it can not find the view resolver for my url.
But why did this happen? I am sure everything is correctly configured, and the codes should be ok.
Environment
The codes and configurations
The project layout is as follows:
Let’s check the souce code of build.gradle to view its dependencies:
As the above script shows, we depends on the spring mvc and spring thymeleaf starter, because we are developing a web application.
Let’s check the souce code of HelloController, which defines a method to serve http get request whose url is /hello2, it should return a string:
There is also a configuration class to configure spring mvc view controllers as follows:
But when we run this app, we get this exception:
Solution
Step 1: Remove the WebMvcConfigurer sub class
Because spring mvc has the default view resolver to thymeleaf, we do not need to configure the views explictly. So we remove the file from our directory. The directory now looks like this:
Step 2:
Change the Controller to this:
We add @ResponseBody to the method, which indicates that this method is returning a plain string, it should not be resolved as a view template.
Rerun the code, the error disappeared.
About the view resolver of spring mvc framework
As the below picture shows, spring relies on the view resolver to resolve the view name from controller.
Thymeleaf is a Java library. It is an XML/XHTML/HTML5 template engine that is able to apply a set of transformations to template files in order to display data and/or text produced by your applications.
If you want to use thymeleaf , just add dependency to the app.
All the example code and config files can be found in this github project.
