Qute: Does @Location work with @CheckedTemplate?

[fs5]

Is @Location supposed to work with @CheckedTemplate? (https://quarkus.io/guides/qute-reference#typesafe_templates)

@CheckedTemplate(basePath = "items")
public static class Templates {

    @Location("edit-item.html")
    public static native TemplateInstance editItem(Item item);  
}

The location does not seem to be evaluated as I get this exception:

Build step io.quarkus.qute.deployment.QuteProcessor#collectCheckedTemplates threw an exception:

io.quarkus.qute.TemplateException: No template matching the path .../editItem could be found for: ...$Templates.editItem

What is the correct way to override the template name?

Is @location supposed to work with @CheckedTemplate?

No, it is not. @Location can only be used on the injection site. The name of the template is currently always derived from the method name. We could add something like CheckedTemplate#defaultName() and use the strategies similar to io.quarkus.qute.i18n.MessageBundle.defaultKey(). Alternatively, we could also make it possible to use the @CheckedTemplate on a specific method to override the default behavior.
