I'll look at any theory right now :-). I'm using the standard django TestCase to write tests for my models, views, and forms. These are in separate modules in the app test directory where I have imported them into the __init__.py. My view tests do use a fixture to provide data for the app's two tables. I think all of this is pretty standard.
I should note that I was not running tests when the tables where cleared. My current theory is that somehow manage.py flush was called. I did not do it from the command line and I don't have this set up as a command in Eclipse, so somehow it got called within the code. Only a theory though ... I wish I could replicate the problem. Thanks for the suggestion.
