Why I'm getting "No fixtures found." when I run "python manage.py syncdb" command?

Question

I run this:

C:\mysite>python manage.py syncdb
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table auth_message
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superuse
rs defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
Username: balu
E-mail address: [email protected]
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.
Installing index for auth.Permission model
Installing index for auth.Group_permissions model
Installing index for auth.User_user_permissions model
Installing index for auth.User_groups model
Installing index for auth.Message model
No fixtures found.

Answer 1

If you want to have your fixtures to be installed during syncdb I believe you need to put them into <app>/fixtures/ directory and call the file initial_data.<ext>
