Yii2 Log Viewer (Installer)

This extension installs a Yii2 project template into the currently opened folder and runs one-command setup.

Commands

• Yii2 Log Viewer: Install Template Into Current Folder

  • Extracts the embedded project template (resources/template.zip) into the currently opened folder
  • Then runs setup.ps1 from that folder
  • template.zip includes vendor/ for offline-first install
  • Prompts for a full path to php.exe (recommended)

• Yii2 Log Viewer: Install Open Project

  • Runs setup.ps1 from the currently opened project root (no extraction)
  • Prompts for a full path to php.exe (recommended)

• Yii2 Log Viewer: Open ADMINS NOTE

  • Opens resources/Admin.txt from the extension

• Yii2 Log Viewer: Schema

  • Copies bundled sql/schema.sql into the opened folder (sql/schema.sql)
  • Works offline (file is inside the .vsix, no download from the internet)
  • If the file already exists, asks before replacing

Usage

Fresh install into an empty folder (recommended)

1. Create/open an empty folder in VS Code.
2. Run:
   • Ctrl+Shift+P → Yii2 Log Viewer: Install Template Into Current Folder
3. When prompted, set PHP path (OSPanel example):
   • C:\OSPanel\modules\php\PHP_8.1\php.exe
4. Wait until setup finishes in the terminal.

Install dependencies + import DB for an existing project

1. Open the existing project root in VS Code (the folder containing composer.json and setup.ps1).
2. Run:
   • Ctrl+Shift+P → Yii2 Log Viewer: Install Open Project
3. Provide PHP path when prompted.

Package and install locally

cd vscode-yii2-log-viewer-installer
npm install
npm run package

npm run package rebuilds resources/template.zip and resources/sql/schema.sql from the parent project (with vendor/) and creates yii2-log-viewer-installer-0.2.4.vsix.

Then install generated .vsix in VS Code:

• Extensions panel -> ... -> Install from VSIX...

What setup.ps1 does

• Installs PHP dependencies via Composer (composer install)
  • If composer is not in PATH, it downloads composer.phar into .tools/ and runs it using the provided php.exe
• Imports the database from sql/schema.sql (creates DB cosmo, tables + reference data; vendor/ included for offline install)
  • It can auto-detect mysql.exe in OSPanel (or use MYSQL_EXE / -MySqlExe when running manually)

Manual run example:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\setup.ps1 -PhpExe "C:\OSPanel\modules\php\PHP_8.1\php.exe"

Notes

• Requires PowerShell (Windows)
• Requires PHP (php.exe) - the extension will ask for the path
• For DB import it uses mysql.exe (auto-detects common OSPanel paths)
