Following the Django docs on deserialization, in my models.py I've created the class:
class PersonManager(models.Manager):
def get_by_natural_key(self, name):
return self.get(name=name)
class Person(models.Model):
objects = PersonManager()
name = models.CharField(max_length=30, unique=True, blank=False, null=False)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
author = models.ForeignKey(Person)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
I've also created a fixture for Person, "person.json",
[
{
"pk": null,
"model": "myapp.person",
"fields": {
"name": "josh",
}
}
]
and for Book, "book.json",
[
{
"pk": null,
"model": "myapp.book",
"fields": {
"title": "my book",
"author": ["josh"]
}
}
]
The fixtures are saved in the 'fixtures' folder.
I then do python manage.py sql myapp and python manage.py syncdb, and then python manage.py loaddata persondata.json. This works. (I can see the entered data on the admin page and I get a good insert count message back.)
Then I do python manage.py loaddata bookdata.json and I get the following error message:
DeserializationError: [u"'[u'josh']' value must be an integer."]
How can that be? Why is Django insisting that I use an integer for the primary key, when I've declared the PersonManager? What have I missed?
(NB. This is all working fine when I give author pk directly as an integer.)
