I'm having trouble getting django to read my fixture file. I created it in yaml:
- model: cdsem.fields
pk: 1
fields:
name: data_file_id
description: data_file_id
- model: cdsem.fields
pk: 2
fields:
name: tool_id
description: tool_id
and so on.
I put it in a file called initial_data.yaml in the fixtures dir of my
app. When I run syncdb it does not pick it up. FIXTURE_DIRS was not
set. I should not have to set it, but I did anyway, but it still did
not pick up the file. If I run loaddata and give it the path to the
file I get:
Problem installing fixture './fixtures/initial_data': yaml is not a
known serialization format.
The docs say yaml is supported. What am I doing wrong?
