Symfony 1.4 not loading sfTestFunctional failing with class not found - php

Question

I've done my functional tests and now I want to run them. However, every time I run them I get sfTestFunctional class not found.
As far as I can tell the functional.php bootstrap is not autoloading the classes from the framework. Any reason why this could be?
This is my functional bootstrap
// guess current application
if (!isset($app))
{
$traces = debug_backtrace();
$caller = $traces[0];
$dirPieces = explode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, dirname($caller['file']));
$app = array_pop($dirPieces);
}
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php';
$configuration = ProjectConfiguration::getApplicationConfiguration($app, 'test', isset($debug) ? $debug : true);
sfContext::createInstance($configuration);
// remove all cache
sfToolkit::clearDirectory(sfConfig::get('sf_app_cache_dir'));
$doctrine = new sfDoctrineDropDbTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--no-confirmation","--env=test"));
$doctrine = new sfDoctrineBuildDbTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--env=test"));
$doctrine = new sfDoctrineInsertSqlTask($configuration->getEventDispatcher(), new sfAnsiColorFormatter());
$doctrine->run(array(), array("--env=test"));
This is what is in my the functional tests
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../bootstrap/functional.php');
$browser = sfTestFunctional(new sfBrowser());
Doctrine_Core::loadData(sfConfig::get('sf_test_dir').'/fixtures/fixtures_initial.yml');

Ok. So after banging my head against the wall, I found a solution.
For some reason within the test environment custom filters are not autoloaded. The solution is to add require_once for all the custom filters to the ProjectConfiguration file. Here is the example of what I did:
if(sfConfig::get('sf_environment') == 'test' && sfConfig::get('sf_app') == 'frontend')
{
require_once sfConfig::get('sf_app_lib_dir').'/myFilter.class.php';
require_once sfConfig::get('sf_app_lib_dir').'/myotherFilter.class.php';
require_once sfConfig::get('sf_app_lib_dir').'/lovefiltersFilter.php';
require_once sfConfig::get('sf_app_lib_dir').'/eventsManagement.class.php';
require_once sfConfig::get('sf_test_dir').'/ProdPadTestFunctional.class.php';
}
I also had to add my custom testFuntional class as well. This might be more elegantly done using the autoload.yml file.

I spot the problem:
$browser = sfTestFunctional(new sfBrowser());
You should write:
$browser = new sfTestFunctional(new sfBrowser());
