Getting Thymeleaf TemplateInputException when I try to pass something from the HTML to the Controller in Spring

I want to send a string (productId) from the html (using thymeleaf) to the Spring Controller. I am coding an e-commerce app. I have the following html:

<div th:each="product : ${products}">
   <form method="post" th:action="@{/home/{productId}(productId=${product.getId()})}" >
      <button type="submit">Add To Cart</button>
   </form>
</div>

And this is the Controller:

@Controller
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class HomeController {

    private final ProductService productService;

    @GetMapping("/home")
    public ModelAndView showHome(){
        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();

        modelAndView.addObject("products", productService.getAllProducts());

        return modelAndView;
    }

    @PostMapping(value = "/home/{productId}")
    public ModelAndView addCartItem(@PathVariable String productId) {
        System.out.println(productId);

        return showHome();
    }
}

When I click the button in the form, I get this error:
[The error] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/2AtzD.png

What am I doing wrong here?

As requested, I pasted the full Controller and the full stack trace I'm getting in the Intellij console:

Solution

  • You are not adding a view in MAV object. modelAndView.setView(“html page name without .html) Make sure the page.html is in your resources folder, probably in a templates folder. This is why it says: cannot render home/d2272d84-7ffc-4ce7-a729-6a36d074ad25
