Yii2 console script not working

Question

I want to automatically download my database backup weekly. I'm using xampp on windows. I've google around and found that I've to make use of windows task scheduler and the action script in my console controller. I've read this and this and tried running the command from command prompt. I'm getting 'Unknown command'.

My code in console controller for now just for testing

<?php
namespace console\controllers;


use Yii;
use yii\console\Controller;

/**
 * Cron controller
 */
class TestController extends Controller {

    public function actionIndex() {
        echo "cron service runnning";
  }

}

And my main config file

<?php
$params = array_merge(
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/params.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/params-local.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/params.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/params-local.php')
);

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

    'modules' => [
    'rbac' =>  [
        'class' => 'johnitvn\rbacplus\Module'
    ]       
],

    'params' => $params,
];

The error I'm getting

Can you add the location of your "main.php"? Is it under "console\config"? — Jannes Botis

Make sure you have TestController.php file in console/controllers folder and its name is written correctly.

Then from project root folder you can call your command like that:

php yii test/index

or just:

php yii test

(because index is a default action (configured in $defaultAction) and you can omit it).

If you are outside of project folder, make sure to provide correct path:

php /path/to/project/folder/yii test

Yeah! my file is in the console/controllers and I've already did what you have said but still not able to run the command from command prompt. Still getting unknown command

@gojiraki Please show how exactly you call it (full command) and full error message in this case.
