DJANGO 1.11 - Can't find fixtures - django

Question

Problem
I was trying to use fixtures to populate my database, so I started by reading through the documentation for loaddata and by default, it looks in the fixtures directory inside each app for fixtures. My problem is that when I run python manage.py loaddata I'm getting an error, but when I give it the path for teams.yaml it works fine. Do I need to setup something for it to work?

Answer 1

Should you define FIXTURE_DIRS in your settings file so django find your fixtures which there are there.
settings.py
FIXTURE_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'fixtures')
]
# statements

Answer 2

The error says:
No database fixture specified. Please provide the path of at least one fixture in the command line.
You need to provide a fixturename in loaddata command, in your case:
python manage.py loaddata team
It was specified in the doc that by default Django will look into fixtures directory inside your app with the specified fixturename. Also the command accepts ./path/to/fixtures/ which overrides the searching of fixtures directory.
