ThymeleafViewResolver not used by Spring 4.1 resulting in "circular view path" error [SPR-12013]

[spring-projects-issues]

Julien Martin opened SPR-12013 and commented

I use the following libraries:

• Spring Framework 4.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
• Spring Security 4.0.0.M1
• Thymeleaf 2.1.3.RELEASE
• Thymeleaf thymeleaf-extras-tiles2-spring4 2.1.1.RELEASE
• Thymeleaf thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity3 2.1.1.RELEASE

And I have configured my view resolver as follows:

@Bean
   public ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver() {
       ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
       viewResolver.setViewClass(ThymeleafTilesView.class);
       viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
       viewResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
       return viewResolver;
   }

and it seems the above view resolver is not found by Spring causing it to use the default "internal view resolver" and resulting in a circular view path error.

Please note that I am not sure whether this is a Spring or Thymeleaf issue and I have therefore opened an issue in Thymeleaf too.

This is most certainly related to the newly added support for configuring view resolution in the MVC config. Can you confirm that setting the order property to something like 0 makes it work again?

Rossen,
I can confirm that setting the order of the view resolver to 0 sorts the problem:

@Bean
public ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver() {
     ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
     viewResolver.setViewClass(ThymeleafTilesView.class);
     viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
     viewResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
     viewResolver.setOrder(0);
     return viewResolver;
}

Julien.

Okay thanks for confirming that. We should have a snapshot with a fix sometime soon.

This should now be resolved. You can confirm with the latest 4.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.

Are spring-boot-starter-parent 1.4.0.RELEASE have the same issue?
'Cose to me show same problem:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Circular view path [index.html]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/performance/index.html] again. Check your ViewResolver setup
