how do I make Yii::getAlias('@webroot') work in console application

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Yii2 console application needs to work with Yii::getAlias(’@webroot’). I get ‘Invalid path alias: @webroot’

Looks like I can manually set "aliases" for console application.

Any ideas which files and how do I set aliases for Yii2 console application ?

Thanks

maybe you could use ‘@app/web’

Use this on your controller to set the alias

public function init()
{
    Yii::setAlias('@webroot', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../'));
    parent::init();
}

so Yii::getAlias(’@webroot’) will work
