Action after run result

New feature?	✔️

Fixed issues	#13484

The \yii\base\Action::afterRun() documentation states:

"You may override this method to do post-processing work for the action run"

Currently post-processing is not possible since the $result is not passed to the afterRun() function in the \yii\base\Action::runWithParams() function.

This was discussed earlier, but since Yii 2.1 is cancelled I would like to re-submit this feature.

ToDo:

• Implementation
• Documentation/Changelog/Upgrade steps
• Unit tests

@samdark @bizley What do you think?

[bizley]

This is a big BC break, not sure if we want to change it like that.

[samdark]

@rhertogh do you have a use-case for it or is it based mainly on the contradiction of current code with phpdoc?

[rhertogh]

@samdark I've an actual use case for it where I need to run some code in the beforeRun (based on the arguments) and in the afterRun (based on the result).
I thought these functions would solve my needs but then I ran into the issue that the the functions don't behave as expected.

@bizley Something for Yii 2.2?

[samdark]

@rhertogh maybe. I've posted there in a discussion.
