Any thoughts?

As a sentence that would mean "await the exchange to be completed and return the client response"

Yeah, that makes sense.

exchange

from the original API is already odd but it's a lot easier to translate if you stick to that name

There are good reasons for

exchange

in the original API, it refers to perform the HTTP exchange.

In any case we need to be consistent with the Java API if possible

That will allow people typing the Java method name to have

awaitExchange

proposed in the autocomplete

I think I will go with it

Changes discussed with @Jonas Bark are in

master

Hi I am working through the Building web applications with Spring Boot and Kotlin tutorial. I have run the application with "gradlew bootRun". It starts and I see a "com.norricorp.demo.DemoApplicationKt : Started DemoApplicationKt" message. But when I open the browser to localhost:8080, I get a "Whitelabel Error page". In the logging are info messages but no error message. INFO 5023 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.a.c.c.C.[Tomcat].[localhost].[/] : Initializing Spring DispatcherServlet 'dispatcherServlet' INFO 5023 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.s.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet : Initializing Servlet 'dispatcherServlet' INFO 5023 --- [nio-8080-exec-1] o.s.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet : Completed initialization in 55 ms

The error in the browser is There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404). No message available

So any ideas what I am doing wrong with regard to running the application. I have followed the tutorial except called it demo rather than blog.

Have you check against the sources https://github.com/spring-guides/tut-spring-boot-kotlin ?

No not yet. But I copy and pasted the files from the tutorial. So next step is clone the repo and run that. Which does not seem the best way to learn. But I have just noticed that if I remove the jar in build/libs and then run gradlew bootRun, it still runs which seems a bit strange. Previously I was building with gradle build. So what am I running when using gradlew bootRun. Where is any jar being stored?

and running gradle build does create the jar. So gradlew is not running that jar.

If there are part of the tuto not up to date with the sources I will update them, but the best way to find is to compare what you have and the solution I think

And the problem with cloning the repo is that it is the finished article, not a chance of building it up step by step

That's not maintainable so no I have not provided that

Where are you in the tuto ?

What section ?

just before "Testing with JUnit 5"

eg compare what HtmlController.kt looks like at that stage with the version in the repo.

The repo version is the finished article.

Please share your repo on a git repo

ok

creating a war and running it under jetty also fails.

I will start from scratch on this because it must work so I must be doing something wrong. The tutorial is a little sparse in places (there are a few magic steps where stuff will just happen) but nevertheless it must work.

As I said, share your repo if you want some help

Feel free to submit improvements via issues or even better PR

I can't really see the use of sharing the repo because I am simply copying the code in tutorial. I might clone the repo in the tutorial and see if that runs. So I use gradlew bootRun to run it?

Tuto runs, it is verified by a CI
