Springboot 2.0.2 not working with thymeleaf template, throwing 404 error

I am using Springboot 1.5.7 for my rest api application, and I am using thymeleaf template to send emails from my api. But when I updated the version of spring boot to 2.0.2 its throwing 404 error i.e "Error resolving template "error", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers".

Below is the config I have in application.yml

spring:
  thymeleaf:
    cache: false
    enabled: true
    mode: HTML5
    prefix: /templates/
    suffix: .html

thymeleaf version in pom.xml

 <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Below is the template structure i am using,

My app release is very near and I am badly stuck with this problem, if someone can provide me workaround then it would be a great help.

Solution

  • Remove prefix: /templates/ from application.yml

    If still does not work, add thymeleaf-layout-dialect dependency (See: Thymeleaf stopped resolving layout templates after migrating to Thymeleaf 3) 

    <dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>nz.net.ultraq.thymeleaf</groupId>
    <artifactId>thymeleaf-layout-dialect</artifactId>
</dependency>

    FYI, I put my views in WEB-INF/webapp/views, so I am using prefix: /WEB-INF/webapp/views/ (spring boot war deploy to tomcat)
