I know this is 3 years later after the first answer. But @xingbin answer really helped me a lot.
Running the project through mvn clean and mvn spring-boot:run sure works.
But adding the code above to the classpath in application.properties didnt work to me. So I figured it out, I just need to remove the
Asterisk * in
spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath*:/templates/
Here is my code :
spring.thymeleaf.check-template-location=true
spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/templates/
spring.thymeleaf.suffix=.html
spring.thymeleaf.mode=HTML5
spring.thymeleaf.encoding=UTF-8
spring.thymeleaf.content-type=text/html
spring.thymeleaf.cache=false

Your code works fine on my computer. I think this is because your IDE can not resolve your classpath.
IntelliJ IDEA orders the classpath differently depending on how you run your application. Running your application in the IDE via its main method will result in a different ordering to when you run your application using Maven or Gradle or from its packaged jar. This can cause Spring Boot to fail to find the templates on the classpath. If you're affected by this problem you can reorder the classpath in the IDE to place the module's classes and resources first. Alternatively, you can configure the template prefix to search every templates directory on the classpath: classpath*:/templates/.
This can be solved by
adding the resources folder to the class path, see this , then creating a file with name application.properties under folder resources, put below config in it to include all class paths:
spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath*:/templates/ spring.thymeleaf.check-template-location=true spring.thymeleaf.suffix=.html spring.thymeleaf.encoding=UTF-8 spring.thymeleaf.content-type=text/html spring.thymeleaf.mode=HTML5
Or
- running the project by executing
mvn cleanandmvn spring-boot:run.

By default Spring Boot looking for thymeleaf in resources/templates folder. Just add templates folder to your resource and put you html files in templates
