loading fixtures for django tests

Question

Hi,

I want to use some fixtures in my tests. I have cms_sample app and a fixtures folder inside with cms_sample_data.xml I use the following in my test.py:

class Funtionality(TestCase): fixtures = ['cms_sample_data']

I do use TestCase of django.tests and not unittest.

But the fixtures are not loaded. What am I missing? Thanks, Arshavski Alexander.

Answer 1

Forgot the xml-extension?

class Funtionality(TestCase): fixtures = ['cms_sample_data.xml']

Answer 2

perhaps your cms_sample_data file is error. you can use this comand: manage.py loaddata cms_sample_data

to check the file.
