Thymeleaf Template Processing Error on Replit

Thymeleaf templates fail to render with parsing or expression errors. App shows error page instead of rendered content.

Template syntax errors, missing context variables, or incorrect expressions break rendering.

Error Messages You Might See

An error happened during template parsing Expression parsing error Fragment not found Undefined variable
An error happened during template parsingExpression parsing errorFragment not foundUndefined variable

Common Causes

  1. Undefined variable in template expression (th:text="${undefined}")
  2. Syntax error in Thymeleaf expression
  3. Incorrect attribute name (th:text vs th:content)
  4. Model variable not passed from controller
  5. Fragment not found in template includes

How to Fix It

Check model.addAttribute() calls in controller match variable names in template. Use th:if="${variable != null}" for optional values. Verify fragment references: th:insert='~{path/file :: fragmentName}'. Check Thymeleaf syntax in logs for line number. Use IDE validation for .html files.
