What happened?

Description

I tried testing my plugin by requiring yii2-adapter.

When the plugin is enabled, I get the following error on the admin/dashboard page:

yii\base\InvalidConfigException
vendor/yiisoft/yii2/web/AssetManager.php:256
The directory does not exist:

The dump of $this at that line confirms basePath is false

yii\web\AssetManager {#3700 ▼
  -_events: []
  -_eventWildcards: []
  -_behaviors: null
  +bundles: []
  +basePath: false
  +baseUrl: "https://craft6.ddev.site/assets"
  +assetMap: []
  +linkAssets: false
  +fileMode: null
  +dirMode: 509
  +beforeCopy: null
  +afterCopy: null
  +forceCopy: false
  +appendTimestamp: false
  +hashCallback: null
  -_dummyBundles: []
  -_isBasePathPermissionChecked: null
  -_converter: null
  -_published: []
}

Steps to reproduce

  1. require the Craft counter plugin
    ddev composer require vnali/craft-counter symfony/process:^7 -W
    -i had a dependency problem without symfony/process:^7 -W
  2. enabling the plugin
  3. browsing to the dashboard page

Expected behavior

  • normally seeing the admin/dashboard page

Actual behavior

an error:
yii\base\InvalidConfigException
