Answer 1

As of Yii2 - 2.0.11.2 advanced app -- this works

First let's make sure controller and namespace correct. In this case frontend app accessing console application import method()

In console\controllers\FhirController

Set the alias to be available in the console\config\main.php [OPTIONAL]

'aliases' => [
    '@common' => dirname(__DIR__),
    '@frontend' =>  dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/frontend',
    '@backend' =>  dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/backend',
    '@console' =>  dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '/console',
],

Finally from the frontend view, make the call like this: In this case, calling the controller route fhir then method import()

$consoleController = new console\controllers\FhirController('fhir', Yii::$app); 
$consoleController->runAction('import');
