One intellij I get 2 warnings. One says the GifController class isn't used and the other is listGifs() is never used.

The Whitelabel Error Page still apears as well

My build.gradle file:

plugins { id 'java' id 'idea' id 'eclipse' id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.4.3' }

group 'com.teamtreehouse' version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

repositories { mavenCentral() }

dependencies { //layout='group id:artifact id:version' compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:2.4.3' }

test { useJUnitPlatform() }

My AppConfig.java file:

package com.teamtreehouse.giflib;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@EnableAutoConfiguration//allows spring to be auto configured @ComponentScan//Scans for controllers public class AppConfig { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(AppConfig.class, args);//allows us to run this app } }

My GifController.java file:

package controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

@Controller//Saying that this is a controller public class GifController { @RequestMapping("/")//saying to execute this method when homepage is requested @ResponseBody//indicates string returned is to be used as a response without any further processing public String listGifs(){ return "List of all the gifs"; } }
