sfPropel15Plugin error, “class ‘FooPeer’ does not have a method ‘getUniqueColumnNames'”

May 26, 2011 · by nathan · in

Stupid me made the same mistake twice in a row so I’m documenting it for humanity.

I’m updating an old Symfony project to use Symfony 1.3/1.4 and Propel 1.5 through François Zaninotto’s sfPropel15Plugin.

Problem:

I followed the README, right? But…

$ ./symfony propel:build --forms
>> schema    converting "C:/web/myproject/config/schema.yml" to XML
>> schema    putting C:/web/myproject/config/generated-schema.xml
>> propel    Running "om" phing task
>> file-     C:/web/myproject/config/generated-schema.xml
>> autoload  Resetting application autoloaders
>> autoload  Resetting CLI autoloader
>> propel    generating form classes

... etc ...

Solution

I removed too much of the default config in propel.ini..

Make sure this original line is still intact in propel.ini, even though you’ve removed/commented out all the propel.behavior lines that point to the old sfPropelPlugin:

propel.behavior.default                        = symfony,symfony_i18n
