Spring Web Flux cannot resolve path to static content

Question

I am using Spring Boot 2.0.0 M1 with WebFlux to build my sample web application. After succeeding with REST endpoints I've decided to add some views to my application. I've decided to use Thymeleaf 3.x version. I know that Spring serves static content from 4 default location:

/META-INF/resources/
/resources/
/static/
/public/

I've decided to go with second example so my css file is in /resources/static/css/. However after loading my page .css file was not found. This is a screenshot from my IDE:

I am not providing my own configuration for static directory I just want to use default one. What might be important is the fact that templates are loading just fine from the /resources/templates/ directory.

Css file is loaded like this:

<link data-th-href="@{css/bootstrap.min.css}" rel="stylesheet">

App is not using normal Controller class instead I've provided function as a Bean to define my router:

@Bean
RouterFunction<?> router(final GeneratorHandler generatorHandler) {
    return route(GET("/generate"), handler::render);
}

Any ideas what's wrong here?

I've found the right solution. In your RouterFunction you need to use:

return resources("/**", new ClassPathResource("/static/"))

This will set your static directory to:

:classpath/static

which Spring Boot version are you using exactly? Things have changed in that area lately. – Brian Clozel Jun 08 '17 at 07:38
Spring Boot 2.0 – General_Code Jun 08 '17 at 08:49
It's not GA yet - so you must be using a snapshot version or a milestone? Which exactly? – Brian Clozel Jun 08 '17 at 08:54
Spring 2.0.0 M1 – General_Code Jun 08 '17 at 09:00
In that case you should reflect that in your question. This behavior will change in the next milestone. (It will be done for you) – Brian Clozel Jun 08 '17 at 09:07
Thank you for this information. I've updated spring boot version in this question. – General_Code Jun 08 '17 at 09:11
