Whitelabel Error Page

Hey, after following this tutorial I no longer get a working webpage after restarting my server.

I followed the instructions and created a HTML file with all the closing tags. Removed the @RequestMapping annotation and I get a Whitelabel Error Page.

When I put that annotation back, I get a string called 'home' appear, so this got me thinking its something wrong with my java finding my html file? It's in the src/main/resources/templates folder.

Any advice?

I've meticulously checked my code, I don't see any spelling or syntax mistakes. Also I've updated my gradle file to use the most current versions of thymeleaf AND spring-boot, as I got a ton of errors when I removed that file.

" dependencies { compile group: 'org.thymeleaf', name: 'thymeleaf', version: '3.0.11.RELEASE' compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web', version: '2.1.4.RELEASE' } "

EDIT: Code

'''Java plugins { id 'java' id 'idea' id 'eclipse' id "org.springframework.boot" version "2.0.3.RELEASE" }

group 'com.teamtreehouse' version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories { mavenCentral() }

dependencies { compile group: 'org.thymeleaf', name: 'thymeleaf', version: '3.0.11.RELEASE' compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web', version: '2.1.4.RELEASE' } '''

'''Java package com.teamtreehouse.giflib;
