Thymeleaf templates cache even when spring.template.cache: false

When editing Thymeleaf templates, a server restart is required to view the updates.

Even with the following setting in application.properties:

# Allow Thymeleaf templates to be reloaded at dev time
spring.template.cache: false

To reproduce: With spring-boot-sample-web-ui, run it with mvn spring-boot:run and edit any of the templates, they don’t reload after server has been started.

It works!

I user IntelliJ Idea debug the application.

After add application.properties with:

spring.thymeleaf.cache: false

Then,after edit html template, must use CTRL+F9 to make the project.

In this way,it works fine for me.

Springboot with IntelliJ and configurations in src/main/resources/application.properties I put in the following relative path, and started the Application.main(…) from IntelliJ:

# Templates reloading during development
spring.thymeleaf.prefix=file:src/main/resources/templates/
spring.thymeleaf.cache=false

# Static resources reloading during development
spring.resources.static-locations=file:src/main/resources/static/
spring.resources.cache-period=0
