@pana1990 when you create a new migration, you should run composer update as it heavily relies on composer autoloader. Have you done the composer update so it recreates its class names?

i think that the problem is missing @tests alias.

i am going to try again explain the problem :

1º i create fresh project with composer.
2º i create the following migration :

<?php

use yii\db\Migration;

/**
 * Handles the creation of table `post`.
 */
class m170731_035905_create_post_table extends Migration
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function up()
    {
        $this->createTable('post', [
            'id' => $this->primaryKey(),
            'title' => $this->string(),
            'content' => $this->text(),
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function down()
    {
        $this->dropTable('post');
    }
}

3º run yii migrate // it works.
4º i create the following fixture in tests/fixtures/PostFixture.php

<?php

namespace tests\fixtures;

class PostFixture extends ActiveFixture
{
    public $modelClass = 'app\models\Post';
}

5º i create data to postfixture in tests/fixtures/data/post.php

<?php

return [
    [
        'id' => 1,
        'title' => 'title 1',
        'content' => 'content 1',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 2,
        'title' => 'title 2',
        'content' => 'content 2',
    ],
];

6º i config controllerMap to custom my namespace fixture in config/console/app.php

'controllerMap' => [
        'fixture' => [
            'class' => 'yii\console\controllers\FixtureController',
            'namespace' => 'tests\fixtures',
        ],
    ]

7º i run yii fixture "*" and this command fails :

if i add the following alias it works :

<?php

use SideKit\Config\ConfigKit;
/*
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Register custom Yii aliases
 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * As we have changed the structure. Modify default Yii aliases here.
 */
Yii::setAlias('@tests', ConfigKit::config()->getBasePath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '../tests');
Yii::setAlias('@root', ConfigKit::config()->getRootPath());
Yii::setAlias('@web', ConfigKit::config()->getBasePath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '../public');

Maybe it's better include this alias in config console, can i send pr to fix this issue?

@pana1990 you are totally correct. I don't think the @tests alias could damage anyhow the rest of the app. So I think bootstrap/aliases.php is the best place to add it. Please, proceed (do not forget to add that change on CHANGE_LOG.

Thanks you for your work on this template.

[tonydspaniard]

On another note, shouldn't you be using $ ./tests/bin/yii instead?

[pana1990]

if i want to seed my dev db i need to use yii, isn't it?

[tonydspaniard]

I use database dumps: http://codeception.com/docs/modules/Db
