Testing Propel Models in Symfony 1.1

I have been struggling for many hours trying to figure out how write unit tests to test my propel models in symfony. The documentation discussing how to test propel models has not been updated for symfony 1.1. There is one key thing that must be done to initialize the propel classes so that you can test your models. The key is that you must create a sfDatabaseManager object. The following is a complete test.

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../bootstrap/unit.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');
$configuration = new ProjectConfiguration(realpath($_test_dir.'/..'));

$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager(
$configuration->getApplicationConfiguration('frontend', 'dev', true)
);

$t = new lime_test(1, new lime_output_color());
$model = MyModelPeer::retrieveByPK(1);
$t->is($model->getName(), 'Test', 'Name retrieved correctly');

All the credit for this information goes to pentium133 for his post on the symfony forum that contained the solution.
