Thymeleaf not display value

Question

I tested Thymeleaf and I have a problem, because when I go to localhost and see my html view, dont see my "Test" value, which should be display on the website. This is my code:

@Controller
public class DisplayData {

    @RequestMapping("/display")
    public String display(Model model){
        model.addAttribute("now", "Test");
        return "index.html";
    }
}

html view:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
  <head>
    <meta charset=”utf-8″>
    <title>Hello World</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
    Now is: <b th:text="${now}"></b>
  </body>
</html>

Path to index.html file is: resources/static/index.html

And localhost view: index.html

what happens if you return "index" instead of '"index.html"`. In thymeleaf you normally dont need the file suffix.(in default) — Patrick

nothing display, only error from spring boot (Whitelablel error page). Path to my index.html is resources/static/index.html — objectprogr

why is your html in static folder? in default your html should be under templates — Patrick

I dont know, but if i add index.html to templates folder, then again nothing display on localhost only spring boot error page — objectprogr

You should start from beginning. Using the defaults and you will have success. — Patrick

Three changes are required to make your application up-and-running:

<meta charset=”utf-8″> is not properly quoted. It should be <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
The default location of index.html file should be resources/templates/index.html
Your return statement should be return "index";, since you have annotated your class as @Controller, spring boot will understand that the string returned is the name of the view to be rendered. Then it will automatically check the above-mentioned location to find your view file.

You can refer Spring Boot and Template Engines.

@objectprogr If my answer was helpful in resolving your issue, please do mark it as 'Accepted.

No, after this change I have this error: This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback. Fri Sep 08 13:37:52 CEST 2017 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). No message available

@objectprogr Hope you have not explicitly configured any other location for your view files other than the default. Because I have tried the exact scenario as yours in my machine and it is working.

I hope that not. This is my whole code on github github.com/objectprogr/fuelApp/tree/fuelV1/src/main. How to configured othr location for view?

@objectprogr Remove @RestController from FuelApplication class. That class is the starter class of your application and not a REST controller.

I solved my problem. I changed gradle dependencies: It was: compile group: 'org.thymeleaf', name: 'thymeleaf', version: '3.0.7.RELEASE' Now is: compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
