Images in Django fixtures?

I was looking at Django fixtures in the docs, there was no mention of preloading images into the database. I can't be the only who needed to do this. Is this possible? If so how? If not, are there any workarounds available?

Please and thank you.

Solution

  • Yes, it's possible. You have to put your image in your project MEDIA_ROOT. In fixtures it will look like 

    [{
    "pk": 1,
    "model": "pictures.picture",
    "fields": {
        "image": "/media/gebakken_kip_met_korianderrijst_1152_x_1728.png"

    }
}]
