I started learning Thymeleaf templating with SpringBoot and my learning path was blocked by some implicit issue i could not find....
The issue is: SpringBoot app does not see template, although:
Controller looks like href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/s4wQJ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">
Project structure includes /templates:
- All required dependencies are in place:

When i check http://localhost:8081/home I got "home" string only.
Solution
Replace @RestController
with @Controller
. You cannot use @RestController
because @RestController
automatically adds @ResponseBody
and Spring will only attempt to look up a view if @ResponseBody
is not present.
