YII2 error - The “id” configuration for the Application is required

Question

When I am running the unit test case in yii2 advanced php framework from frontend\tests\unit\models\ContactFormTest.php I am getting some errors as below

This is my ContactFormTest.php

 namespace frontend\tests\unit\models;

 use Yii;
 use frontend\models\ContactForm;

class ContactFormTest extends \Codeception\Test\Unit
{

   public function testSendEmail()
   {
    $model = new ContactForm();

    $model->attributes = [
        'name' => 'vinayak',
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'subject' => 'very important letter subject',
        'body' => 'hi',
    ];

    expect_that($model->sendEmail('[email protected]'));

    // using Yii2 module actions to check email was sent
    $this->tester->seeEmailIsSent();

    $emailMessage = $this->tester->grabLastSentEmail();
    expect('valid email is sent', $emailMessage)->isInstanceOf('yii\mail\MessageInterface');
    expect($emailMessage->getTo())->hasKey('[email protected]');
    expect($emailMessage->getFrom())->hasKey('[email protected]');
    expect($emailMessage->getSubject())->equals('very important letter subject');
     expect($emailMessage->toString())->contains('body of current    message');
        }
  }

Try to add id in you config file (i.e. main.php) , like below:

return [
    'id' => 'app-frontend',
    'basePath' => dirname(__DIR__),
    'controllerNamespace' => 'backend\controllers',
   'bootstrap' => ['log'],
    :::::::::::::
]

ID param is required in yii2. You will need to setup in your Frontend (i.e. frontend/config/main.php)
