Question

I created a “fixtures” folder in the app directory and put data1.json in there.

This is what is in the file:

[{"firm_url": "http://www.graychase.com/kadam", "firm_name": "Gray & Chase", "first": " Karin ", "last": "Adam", "school": "Ernst Moritz Arndt University Greifswald",  "year_graduated": " 2004"} ]

In the command line I cd to the app directory and

django-admin.py loaddata data1.json

but I get this error

Installing json fixture 'data1' from
'C:\Users\A\Documents\Projects\Django\sw2\wkw2\fixtures'.
Problem installing fixture
'C:\Users\A\Documents\Projects\Django\sw2\wkw2\fixtures\data1.json': Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\serializers\python.py", line 76, in Deserializer
Model = _get_model(d["model"])
KeyError: 'model'

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

I fixed the json format:

[
    {
        "pk": 1, 
        "model": "wkw2.Lawyer", 
        "fields": {
            "school": "The George Washington University Law School", 
            "last": "Babas", 
            "firm_url": "http://www.graychase.com/babbas", 
            "year_graduated": "2005", 
            "firm_name": "Gray & Chase", 
            "first": "Amr A"
        }
    }
]

But now I get ValidationError: This value must be an integer. Is there a way to find out from the line numbers what causes the error? Only “pk” is an integer.

ValidationError: This value must be an integer.

Answer 1

it looks like you are not defining your fixtures properly. Take a look at the Django Documentation. You need to define the model that you are loading, then define the fields like this

 [
  {
    "model": "myapp.person",
    "pk": 1,
    "fields": {
      "first_name": "John",
      "last_name": "Lennon"
    }
  },
  {
    "model": "myapp.person",
    "pk": 2,
    "fields": {
      "first_name": "Paul",
      "last_name": "McCartney"
    }
  }
]
