`yiiLogger` not initialized when ChromeDriver fails, causing error

[Eseperio]

Description:

When running tests using Codeception with the Yii2 module, if ChromeDriver fails, such as in the following case:

session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 130
Current browser version is 135.0.7049.85 with binary path /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome

It leads to an error in the test execution. The issue is related to the instantiation of yiiLogger in the _before event, but it is being accessed in the _failed event before being properly initialized in case of failure. Specifically, in src/Codeception/Module/Yii2.php, the following code is used in the _failed event:

public function _failed(TestInterface $test, $fail): void
{
    $log = $this->yiiLogger->getAndClearLog();
    if ($log !== '') {
        $test->getMetadata()->addReport('yii-log', $log);
    }

    parent::_failed($test, $fail);
}

But in the _before method, yiiLogger is instantiated as follows:

public function _before(TestInterface $test): void
{
    $this->recreateClient();
    $this->yiiLogger = new Yii2Connector\Logger();
    $this->getClient()->startApp($this->yiiLogger);

    $this->connectionWatcher = new ConnectionWatcher();
    $this->connectionWatcher->start();

    // load fixtures before db transaction
    if ($test instanceof \Codeception\Test\Cest) {
        $this->loadFixtures($test->getTestInstance());
    } elseif ($test instanceof \Codeception\Test\TestCaseWrapper) {
        $this->loadFixtures($test->getTestCase());
    } else {
        $this->loadFixtures($test);
    }

    $this->startTransactions();
}

If ChromeDriver fails before the _before event is executed, the yiiLogger is never initialized, and accessing it in _failed results in the following error:

Typed property Codeception\Module\Yii2::$yiiLogger must not be accessed before initialization

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run a test using Codeception with the Yii2 module.
2. Ensure that ChromeDriver fails (e.g., by using an incompatible version of ChromeDriver).
3. The error Typed property Codeception\Module\Yii2::$yiiLogger must not be accessed before initialization occurs.

Expected behavior:

The yiiLogger should be properly initialized before being accessed, or there should be a check to ensure that it is only accessed if initialized. A more graceful handling of the failure, such as skipping the logging in case of initialization failure, would avoid this issue.

Try this config:

'log' => [  
    'class' => \Codeception\Lib\Connector\Yii2\Logger::class,  
    'targets' => [],  
],

Could you test this branch? #132

Try this config:

I don't think the issue is related to configuration.

Yes, indeed. The configuration doesn't affect it.
The only thing is, I have some questions regarding the logic.
Here, I commented out the line, and it started working.

I'd like to get your thoughts on this line.

Read the comments above the file: https://github.com/Codeception/module-yii2/blob/v2.0.3/src/Codeception/Module/Yii2.php#L32

The line is needed; removing it changes the behavior in several ways and is not a solution.
