Thymeleaf failed to parse "classappend="${#fields.hasErrors('name')}? 'error' ...'

The classappend failed on my computer.

Request processing failed; nested exception is org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateProcessingException: Exception evaluating SpringEL expression: "#fields.hasErrors('name'" (category/form:16)

I have to delete it to get the validation page work.

That exception is from some problem with thymeleaf syntax or a problem with the bound object. It's followed by a more descriptive exception such as IllegalArgumentException.

Looks like in your case there's a syntax error. The syntax in the question header is correct. But the exception points to different syntax where the closing parentheses is missing: "#fields.hasErrors('name'"
