Loading of non-initial-data fixtures during testing does work in 1.2. I've
just confirmed it with one of my own projects. If this did not work I'd
expect we'd quickly hear of it from multiple sources and I'm pretty sure a
number of Django's own tests would fail.
Diagnostics for the case where a file specified in a TestCase fixtures
attribute is not found are poor. If I change the name of my test fixture
file on disk without changing the test that refers to it, there is nothing
in the test output, even at verbosity 2, other than errors from the failing
tests cases that require the fixture, to indicate the problem. There is
exhaustive output regarding trying to load initial_data fixtures, but
nothing for the fixtures specified on an individual test case. I thought
there had been a ticket that addressed this fairly late in the 1.2 cycle but
I must be mis-remembering because I don't see any better diagnostics here
with 1.2 than I did with earlier versions.
Are you absolutely sure the name of the file on disk matched what you had
listed in the TestCase fixtures line?
