Django Unit Test with Fixtures

Sometimes we need to write test with initial data

# settings.py

FIXTURE_DIRS = [

os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'fixtures/myapp'),

]

For this setting as example, we can load initial data by

1 2	$ python manage.py loaddata data_json $ python manage.py loaddata data_yaml.yaml

And we need to do setup in test cases

from django.test import TestCase

from django.core.management import call_command

class MyTestCase(self):

def setUp(self):

call_command('loaddata', 'data_json', verbosity=0)

call_command('loaddata', 'data_yaml.yaml', verbosity=0)

def test_something(self):

pass
