Yii2 console app - cookieValidationKey config errors - php

Question

I have configured the cookieValidationKey inside my backend\config\main.php and frontend\config\main.php and removed it from common\config\main.php. But when I run php yii inside command line. I get this error.
Even before I set it inside to my backend config the error showed up when I used the command line.
$ php yii
Exception 'yii\base\UnknownPropertyException' with message 'Setting unknown property: yii\console\Request:
:cookieValidationKey'
in D:\web\wamp64\www\html\royall.dev\vendor\yiisoft\yii2\base\Component.php:201

#9 D:\web\wamp64\www\html\royall.dev\yii(27): yii\base\Application->run()
#10 {main}
Why is this happening? I did not have cookieValidationKey inside my console\config\main.php so it should not Popup this error.
I use windows and wamp-server but I tested it on an Ubuntu server and it's returning the same error.

Answer 1

That's because your console command combined all configs before executing the actual action. There are some config params which are invalid to console actions but useful to web requests. The solution is to remove these params before executing console actions.
Add the following line
unset($config['components']['request']);
before
$application = new yii\console\Application($config);
in file yii.
Because I run web server via vagrant, I didn't test if there's side effect to web app run via yii command.
