Events not being triggered in Application Module - events

Question

I cannot seem to get my events to fire off. This is my first time playing around with them. If you look, i create an event in the init method and then i try to fire it off in the onBootstrap method. The event should produce a die with the string, but its not. any help would be appreciated.

The EventManager you're getting from the ModuleManager is a different EventManager than the Application's EventManager which you let trigger the event do.
Since during Module initialization the Application is not yet available, you've to bind your listener to the event via the SharedManager.
So attaching to Application's event do would go like this
$sharedManager = $manager->getEventManager()->getSharedManager();
$sharedManager->attach(Application::class, 'do', function($e) {
// event code
});
Please note that the shared manager requires the (an) identifier of the EventManager that's expected to trigger the event which in this case is (and often is) the classname of Application.
