${gif.name} not working

Hi, I am having trouble displaying the gif page after applying the PathVariable annotation. the error message I am getting:

There was an unexpected error(type = Internal Server Error, status=500). Exception evaluating SpringEL expression:"gif.name" (gif-details:13)

I've actually moved on to the next video and tried the th:text="${gif.username}" for the dynamic username field, and it doesn't work as well. Although I managed to make it work by th:text="${gif.getUserName()}".

I have followed every step of the course so my code is identical to whats in the video. I believe this is something to do with the HTML file syntax? Can someone help please, thank you.

I Believe that you do everything like he says, but I still need to see your code and reproduce error.

Could you share project on GitHub and paste link here, so that I can download and see your files.

it is done very easily if you have GitHub account in Intellijidea:

Just by looking at what you say.

{gif.username} will NOT work if name of your getter is getUserName(), because if your field is username, the getter MUST be getUsername . Check the difference.

About the gif.name I need to take a look.

Here are also links how to connect GitHub account to Inteliijdea just in case:
