Yii2: Call to a member function validateCsrfToken() on string

[aliabdzad]

i have a problem after ((Controller::$request and $response)) change
in beforeAction when we print (( $this->validateCsrfToken() )) it returns : 'request' not an object
it seems $this->validateCsrfToken() has not the same value as Yii::$app->getRequest()->validateCsrfToken()
and this problem stops my controllers
please resolve this

Can you confirm which version you are on?
Latest Yii2 is 2.0.35 which is 20 releases ahead of the one you listed.

If you are on .15 can you update to .35 and test again.

Do you have an init(); in your SiteController?

If so you need to call parent::init();

I have the same issue, but my SiteController doesn't have an init();
I'm running Yii2 version 2.0.36
Is there another way to solve this issue or do I need to add an init(); function and call parent::init(); in there?

Does your SiteController extend from another custom Controller class?

[tarx1234]

Yes. I have just found what my issue was. Thank you.
