FreeMarker Template load location missing

[edigitman]

I have a POC with the following dependencies
com.sparkjava spark-core 2.5
com.sparkjava spark-template-freemarker 2.5.5

I took the example from this repo, the FreeMarkerEngine class. I have the simple Main class and a simple template with a placeholder for the message.

The issue is that in the Main class there is a comment saying that the template will be loaded from src/test/resources/spark/template/freemarker but this is not configured in the FreeMarkerEngine class at line 89 configuration.setClassForTemplateLoading(FreeMarkerEngine.class, "");

The second argument should be "spark\template\freemarker".

This line is exactly like it supposed to be. This empty string is base package for getResource() of selected class loader. In this case FreeMarker will execute something like:
FreeMarkerEngine.class.getClassLoader().getResource (basePackage + ...)

If you are looking for path for template files see:
