Error resolving template [home], template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers - spring

Question

First time posting so do correct me when I'm formulating this wrong. Although I'm not deviating from the default mapping for the folder structure I thought I'd add in the settings.
whenever I request the /home mapping I get a TemplateInputException
HomeController Class:
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#GetMapping("/home")
public String home(Model model, #RequestParam(value = "name", required = false, defaultValue = "World") String name) {
model.addAttribute("name", name);
return "home";
}
}
WebConfig:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "be.mubuntu.dev.cbrapi")
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Bean
public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver yourTemplateResolver() {
ClassLoaderTemplateResolver configurer = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
configurer.setPrefix("templates/");
configurer.setSuffix(".html");
configurer.setTemplateMode(TemplateMode.HTML);
configurer.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
configurer.setOrder(0); // this is important. This way spring //boot will listen to both places 0 and 1
configurer.setCacheable(false);
configurer.setCheckExistence(true);
return configurer;
}
}

Answer 1

Why are you creating headache by writing redundant code for configuration in spring boot? Spring boot will automatically configure all these for you.
Just remove the class
#Configuration
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "be.mubuntu.dev.cbrapi")
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Bean
public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver yourTemplateResolver() {
ClassLoaderTemplateResolver configurer = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
configurer.setPrefix("templates/");
configurer.setSuffix(".html");
configurer.setTemplateMode(TemplateMode.HTML);
configurer.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
configurer.setOrder(0); // this is important. This way spring //boot will listen to both places 0 and 1
configurer.setCacheable(false);
configurer.setCheckExistence(true);
return configurer;
}
}
And In your controller class you are returning return "home"; but there is no html with name home.html in templates folder. There is hello.html. So in your controller write
return "hello";

Answer 2

Please update spring.thymeleaf.enabled=false in application.properties in your project.

Answer 3

Error message told you everything
template might not exist
You return "home" template from controller but I don't see such file within templates folder on enclosed screenshot.
Rename templates/hello.html to templates/home.html

Answer 4

In my case restarting IntelliJ Idea helped. I thought it was problem with caching the templates.
