There is some more initialization requirements for this to work. The simplest way I have found is to make it a "functional" test since we are relying on Propel functionality. You can still do lime unit tests. Here's one of my test files:

$app = 'admin';
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../bootstrap/functional.php');
 
// to get configurations set up, even though we don't use the browser
$b = new sfTestBrowser();
$b->initialize(); 
 
$t = $b->test();
$t->plan = 4;
 
$databaseManager = new sfDatabaseManager();
$databaseManager->initialize();
 
try {
    $ra = RoomAssignmentPeer::getCurrentActiveFor(12345);
    $t->fail('incomplete id, should throw exception');
} catch (rciException $ex) {
    $t->pass('incomplete id');
}
// ...
// 3 more tests
// ...

To get my batch file connected to the database using a raw SQL query, I had to just

generate the skeleton:

<pre> $ symfony batch default batchFileName frontend prod </pre>

Add the lines from this snippet, and get the connection in the right way: <pre class="php"> $con = $databaseManager->getDatabase('propel')->getConnection(); </pre>
