Spring boot dependencies disappear after changing dependecies to thymeleaf

Spring boot dependencies disappear after changing and refreshing dependecies from compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.0.4.RELEASE' to compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf'

You have to add them both if you are using Spring boot 2+

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.0-Migration-Guide#user-content-web-starter-as-a-transitive-dependency

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'idea'
    id 'eclipse'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.0.6.RELEASE'
    id "io.spring.dependency-management" version "1.0.6.RELEASE"
}

group 'org.sielert'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-web
    compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-web', version: '2.0.6.RELEASE'
    compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf', version: '2.0.6.RELEASE'
}

Hi Bryan,

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? I just contacted the treehouse support and will search for a solution in the meantime. Looks like spring-boot-starter-web isn't a dependency of spring boot thymeleaf anymore

In addition to "starter-web" dependency, add "compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf', version: 'x.x.x.RELEASE' " to gradle build. It worked for me.
