Spring Boot Thymeleaf fragment subdirectory view error with jar

My Spring Boot app works fine in Eclipse and from gradle run in command line. However fails to load fragment from a sub directory when launched from java -jar....

Using default Spring Boot and Thymeleaf settings and gradle.

Folder structure

src/main/resources/
---templates/
      ---homepages/
           ---homepage
           ---head

Tried explicit view resolver for Thymeleaf. No luck.

fragment causing problem. 

<head th:include="/homepages/head"></head>

error when launched from jar

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
Error resolving template "/homepages/head", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers (homepages/homepage:5)

Using default setting for Spring Boot.

Solution

  • Template paths normally do not start with "/". Try removing that from your include path.
