The following fixture cannot be deserialized, unless an Author object with
name "John Steinbeck" already exists. This is because when Django tries
to deserialize the first object, it tries to load an Author with name
"John Steinbeck", which fails.
{{{
[
{
"model": "app.book",
"fields": {
"title": "East Of Eden",
"author": ["John Steinbeck"]
}
},
{
"model": "app.author",
"fields": {
"name": "John Steinbeck",
"date_of_birth": "1902-02-27"
}
}
]
}}}
This problem is avoidable with careful ordering of fixture loading, but is
still a problem with fixtures that have circular references.
I have a proposed fix: see PR 6221
