45,009 PointsIllegalArgumentException when trying to load the page
Once I included blocks and partials with the templating and tried to load the page it showed 500 Internal Server Error and "Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: found 'null', expected 'partial's name'" in the console.
My code:
index.hbs
{{#partial "content"}}
{{#if username }}
<h1>Welcome {{ username }}</h1>
{{ else }}
<h1>Welcome Students!</h1>
<form action="/sign-in" method="post">
<input type="text" placeholder="What's your username?" name="username" />
<button>Sign In</button>
</form>
{{/if}}
{{/partial}}
{{> base.hbs}}
base.hbs
{{#block "header"}}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{{#block title}}Welcome to Course Ideas{{/block}}</title>
</head>
<body>
{{/block}}
{{#block "content"}}{{/block}}
{{#block "footer"}}
</body>
</html>
{{/block}}
