Well, the code is a little broken. It doesn't actually raise a more appropriate message, and the docs do not actually point out that `internal_use_only` flag must be unset for it to work from the command line. I would suggest a change along the lines of this: {{{ diff --git a/django/core/management/commands/dumpdata.py b/django/core/management/commands/dumpdata.py index 15e615c1d0..9ec9ab76a3 100644 --- a/django/core/management/commands/dumpdata.py +++ b/django/core/management/commands/dumpdata.py @@ -177,9 +177,8 @@ class Command(BaseCommand): try: serializers.get_serializer(format) except serializers.SerializerDoesNotExist: - pass - - raise CommandError("Unknown serialization format: %s" % format) + raise CommandError("Unknown serialization format: %s" % format) + # We found it, but it's not a public serializer. Let the user know + raise CommandError("Serialization format %s is flagged for internal_use_only. Set internal_use_only = False in the Serializer to use it here." % format) def get_objects(count_only=False): """ }}} And/or call out the `internal_use_only` flag near the custom serialization doc and its affect on CLI operation. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/36608#comment:3> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
