Spring Boot gives "TemplateInputException: Error resolving template" when running from jar

I have an app that works perfectly when started within IntelliJ or via gradle bootRun. however, if I do gradle bootRepackage and then try and run the resulting jar, I end up with: ``` 2014-12-02 21:46:14.086 ERROR 9839 --- [nio-2014-exec-2] org.thymeleaf.TemplateEngine : [THYMELEAF][http-nio-2014-exec-2] Exception processing template "/login": Error resolving template "/login", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers 2014-12-02 21:46:14.087 ERROR 9839 --- [nio-2014-exec-2] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet] : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template "/login", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers] with root cause org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template "/login", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers at org.thymeleaf.TemplateRepository.getTemplate(TemplateRepository.java:245) at org.thymeleaf.TemplateEngine.process(TemplateEngine.java:1104) at org.thymeleaf.TemplateEngine.process(TemplateEngine.java:1060) at org.thymeleaf.TemplateEngine.process(TemplateEngine.java:1011) at org.thymeleaf.spring4.view.ThymeleafView.renderFragment(ThymeleafView.java:335) ``` I can see that the jar has /templates/** contained in it. the content looks OK to me. One possible(?) factor may be that I use an html page referring to a layout, thus: ``` layout:decorator="layouts/main" ``` I can confirm that the file IS in the jar. /login is defined thusly: ``` @Override public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) { registry.addViewController("/login").setViewName("/login"); registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("/login"); } ``` and I have spring security configured as: ``` @Configuration public class WebSecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override public void configure(WebSecurity security) { security.ignoring().antMatchers("/assets/**"); } @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .csrf().disable(); http .authorizeRequests() .antMatchers("/").permitAll() .anyRequest().authenticated(); http .formLogin() .loginPage("/login") .defaultSuccessUrl("/home") .failureUrl("/login?error") .permitAll() .and() .logout() .invalidateHttpSession(true) .logoutSuccessUrl("/login?logout") .permitAll(); } } ``` I think that's all that might be relevant to this issue... I have seen https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/112 and Proper location of Thymeleaf views for Spring (amongst others). These resources notwithstanding, I have not been successful at getting template resolution working. Any suggestions gratefully recieved. To have come so far with Spring Boot yet to have stumbled at the last hurdle (near-final deployment) is vexatious.
