Hi!

I am trying to create a set of test case to cover my django application. I need pre defined database data, to run some of my test. So I decided to use fixtures.

What I did was: 1) created fixture file: oleg$ python manage.py dumpdata goserver > fixture1.json 2) Placed the fixture in the directory where application lives oleg$ cp fixture1.json goserver/ 3) Write down the texture name in the tests file in my application

   class GoserverTestCase(TestCase):
    fixtures = ['fixture1.json']

    def setUp(self):
        pass

    def testUserIsAdded(self):
        print "Users" , User.objects.all()
        #print ActiveList.objects.all()
        self.assertEquals(True, True)

4) Run the text case with a command: oleg$ python manage.py test --verbosity=2 goserver

The output of the test run is (part of it):

Trying '/Users/oleg/jin/goclub/trunk/jin/../jin/register/fixtures' for xml fixture 'initial_data'... No xml fixture 'initial_data' in '/Users/oleg/jin/goclub/trunk/jin/../jin/register/fixtures'.

Checking 's' for fixtures... Trying 's' for xml fixture 'initial_data'... No xml fixture 'initial_data' in 's'. Trying 's' for json fixture 'initial_data'..

Actually the problem is that the fixture was not found at all, so no data I wanted to add into the test database was added. Could you please suggest me a way to solve the problem

I tried a new way to do it. I just made a dump of complete database and put it to the application folder.

But I came cross some encoding issues.

Can you please check the error response:

Have another problem. When I disabled fixtures I still getting an error:

To the first question of where to put a fixture file: Create a folder in each app called fixtures, and place your fixture data there.
