Disabling Pebble cache with Spring Boot

[Martin]

Hi,

I'm evaluating Pebble as a potential replacement for standard JSP templates.  So far so good, but pebble.cache=false doesn't seem to disable the cache as described here.  The value gets set properly in PebbleAutoConfiguration but it looks like it has no effect.  I have to restart my app on every single modification I make to my templates.

Anyone can help me with that?

Thank you!

I had exactly the same problem. I found this workaround:

Define in your config a PebbleEngine Bean yourself. 

Example:

@SpringBootApplication

public class DemoPebbleApplication {

       public static void main(String[] args) {

               SpringApplication.run(DemoPebbleApplication.class, args);

       }

       @Bean

        public PebbleEngine pebbleEngine() {

                return new PebbleEngine.Builder().cacheActive(false).

                               build();

       }

}

Thanks for your reply Jochen.

I basically ended up doing the same thing.  Except that I binded it to a new configuration Properties.

@Configuration
public class PebbleTemplateConfiguration {

    @Autowired
    TemplateProperties templateProperties;

    @Bean
    public PebbleEngine pebbleEngine() {
        return new PebbleEngine.Builder().cacheActive(templateProperties.isCached()).build();
    }

}

@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.template")
public class TemplateProperties {

    private boolean isCached = true;

    public boolean isCached() {
        return isCached;
    }

    public void setCached(boolean isCached) {
        this.isCached = isCached;
    }
}

The newest version (2.2.2) is handling this correctly! So just update...

Hello,

I ama trying to implement a mvc project (with spring boot). I added **pebble-spring-boot-starter** dependency to pom.  I set suffix as .twig in ViewResolver method. But template engine check .pebble files under templates/ path. In debug, i see pebbleatuoconfiguration class set default suffix and prefix values lastly. How can i stop this process.

Please help,

Ok

pebble.prefix:templates/

pebble.suffix:.twig

pebble.cache:false

pebble.encoding:UTF-8
