I was programming along on a webservice using SpringBoot and the thymeleaf library when I ran into an issue, that my webservice kept claiming that it could not find a specific .html file that it was supposed to serve. It's supposed to be in a folder that sits underneath the resources folder in the source tree.
After quite a while of debugging I suddenly had to learn that for some odd reason html files that are located under src/main/resources are NOT copied over to the bin/main folder!?! :-o
Why is that so???
I have a plain vanilla gradle project setup, i.e. something like:
* src
+-* main
| +-* java
| | +-* com
| | | +-* foo
| | | | +-+ bar
| | ...
| +-+ resources
| | +-+ static
| | | ... HTML and other files here...
| | +-+ templates
| | | ... HTML and other files here...
For some odd and - at least for me - non-understandable reason all kinds of files underneath src/main/resources/static and src/main/resources/templates are faithfully copied over to the bin/main target directory, but *.html files are NOT.
Why is that so? The corresponding snippet in the classpath file does NOT contain any filter or such! So, why are only html files ignored and not copied over?
...
<classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/resources">
<attributes>
<attribute name="gradle_scope" value="main"/>
<attribute name="gradle_used_by_scope" value="main,test"/>
</attributes>
</classpathentry>
...
<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin/main"/>
...
Where and how can one adjust/correct this strange behaviour?
This is on Windows 10 Pro using Eclipse 2018-12.
