[FIXED] Yii2 - Getting unknown property: yii\console\Application::user

Issue

I am trying to run a console controller from the terminal, but i am getting this errors every time

Error: Getting unknown property: yii\console\Application::user

here is the controller

class TestController extends \yii\console\Controller {

public function actionIndex() {
    echo 'this is console action';
} }

and this is the concole config

return [
'id' => 'app-console',
'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
'bootstrap' => ['log'],
'controllerNamespace' => 'console\controllers',
'modules' => [],
'components' => [
    'log' => [
        'targets' => [
            [
                'class' => 'yii\log\FileTarget',
                'levels' => ['error', 'warning'],
            ],
        ],
    ],
],
'params' => $params];

I tried running it using these commands with no luck

php yii test/index
php yii test
php ./yii test

can anyone help please?

Solution

Console application does not have Yii->$app->user. So, you need to configure user component in config\console.php.

like as,

config\console.php

 'components' => [
 .........
 ......
        'user' => [
            'class' => 'yii\web\User',
            'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
            //'enableAutoLogin' => true,
        ],
        'session' => [ // for use session in console application
            'class' => 'yii\web\Session'
        ],
 .......
]
