AlexesMet :
I have a Spring Boot server with Thymleaf pages. It works fine when I don't use style.css. But when I link a stylesheet (<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../static/css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}"/>) and trying to access the page, stylesheet is not linked and server drops a stack-trace (see below).

My index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Web Shop</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../static/css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}"/>
</head>
<body>
<p th:text="thymleaf">html</p>
</body>
</html>
My controller:
@Controller
public class RootController {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String index(){
return "index";
}
}
When trying to access the page on localhost:8080, browser gets this:
<html lang="en"><head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Web Shop</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>thymleaf</p>
</body>
</html>
and Spring Boot console shows this:

And remember, this only happens when I add this line to index.html's head.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../static/css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}"/>
Why? How do I troubleshoot this?
P.S. To avoid additional questions, I have this project on GitHub.
UPDATE: I update to Spring Boot version 2.1.2.RELEASE (as you can see, I user 2.0.0). Console output changed:

AlexesMet :
Remove @EnableWebMvc annotation, and css will probably load.
What I did on my way to success:
- I replaced my
pom.xmlwith one from Spring Initializr. Stack-trace became more readable. - Now i was certain that my browser requests for style.css. Before the update server responsed 500, but after the update it was responsing 404.
- After update i noticed that
@EnableWebMvcis deprecated. I removed it. It worked.
