I only mentioned the setUp() method because I found _pre_setup() and assumed that it was some sort of hook related to the setUp() method. My fixture file is called "region.json", to match one of my models. It is located in a fixtures folder in the app folder. If I rename the file to "initial_data.json", it loads, no problem. Note that if it can't find the initial_data file, there is no real error, only that the test fails because there is no data in the table. Doing some more digging, I found that the run() method (in django/test/testcases.py) along with the install_fixtures() method never got called. Maybe just a disconnect between the 0.96 testing docs and the code? Looking at the later changes to this file (#5173 - rename install_fixtures() to _pre_setup(), #5211 - rename run() to __call__()), I added these changes and it now appears that I get as far as flushing the database in _pre_setup(). I now have another problem, but that is related to "ALTER SEQUENCE" not available for my version of Postgres (7.3, I know it's old, but it WORKS!). Why does get_sql_sequence_reset() use "SELECT setval()" but get_sql_flush() uses "ALTER SEQUENCE"? I've been using setval() in Postgres for so long, I wasn't even aware that they added ALTER SEQUENCE, :-). I'll do some more hacking on this when I get to work tomorrow and try loaddata from the command line. Thanks for your help Russ.
