django-fixture-magic 0.0.1

Installation

You can get fixture-magic from pypi with:

pip install django-fixture-magic

The development version can be installed with:

pip install -e git://github.com/davedash/django-fixture-magic#egg=django_fixture_magic

fixture-magic adds two commands to manage.py therefore you should add it to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'fixture_magic',
    ...
)

Usage

There are two commands. dump_object returns the json representation of a specific object as well as all its dependencies (as defined by ForeignKeys).

./manage.py dump_object APP.MODEL PK1 PK2 PK3 … > my_new_fixture.json

You can now safely load my_new_fixture.json in a test without foreign key i errors.

The second command is merge_fixtures. This command takes several fixture files and does a simple de-dupe operation (based on model and pk) and returns a clean json file. This is helpful if you have multiple json fixtures that might have redundant data.

./manage.py merge_fixtures fixture1.json fixture2.json fixture3.json … > all_my_fixtures.json
