SpringBoot+Thymeleaf + Spring Security evaluating SpringEL expression: "#authentication.name" error - spring

Question

I got an error [org.attoparser.ParseException: Exception evaluating SpringEL expression: "#authentication.name"], I also changed the version of [thymeleaf.version] and [thymeleaf-layout-dialect.version], but it doesn't help.
Same problem mentioned in Spring boot + Security + Thymeleaf error using ${#authentication.name}, But I don't using MvcConfig, MVC configuration are completed by SpringBoot.
Here is my pom.xml
