Do fixtures with relationships work in app-engine-patch? - django

Question

I have a fixture with multiple models that I'm using for testing. It
works for the basic models, but fails to create the entities for the
models with relationships. Is this a known limitation of app-engine-patch or am I missing
something? I'm using JSON for the fixture file.
I'm creating the fixture file with 'manage.py dumpdata --format=json >> file.json'
Here are the models involved:
class BibleBook(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty(required=True)
description = db.TextProperty(required=True)
class Task(db.Model):
name = db.StringProperty(required=True)
description = db.TextProperty(required=True)
energy = db.IntegerProperty(default=1)
focus = db.IntegerProperty(default=0)
empathy = db.IntegerProperty(default=0)
denarii = db.IntegerProperty(default=0)
talents = db.IntegerProperty(default=0)
experience = db.IntegerProperty(default=1)
percent_per_task = db.IntegerProperty(default=5)
bibleBook = db.ReferenceProperty(BibleBook)
level = db.StringProperty(required=True, choices=set(["Catachumen", "Laymen", "Elder"]))
drop_percentage = db.IntegerProperty(default=10)
The json in the fixture file looks like this:
[
{"pk": "ag5sYXctYW5kLWdvc3BlbHIcCxIWbGF3YW5kZ29zcGVsX2JpYmxlYm9vaxgDDA",
"model": "lawandgospel.biblebook",
"fields": {"name": "Luke", "description": "Description"}},
{"pk": "ag5sYXctYW5kLWdvc3BlbHIXCxIRbGF3YW5kZ29zcGVsX3Rhc2sYBQw",
"model": "lawandgospel.task",
"fields": {"empathy": 0, "name": "Study Luke", "level": "Catachumen", "energy": 1,
"focus": 0, "experience": 1, "drop_percentage": 10, "talents": 0,
"bibleBook": "ag5sYXctYW5kLWdvc3BlbHIcCxIWbGF3YW5kZ29zcGVsX2JpYmxlYm9vaxgDDA",
"percent_per_task": 5, "denarii": 0, "description": "The Book of Luke"}}
]
The BibleBook model loads properly, but the Task one does not.
I'm checking this by doing:
books = BibleBook.gql('')
self.assertEquals(books.count(), 1)
tasks = Task.gql('')
self.assertEquals(tasks.count(), 1)
The first test passes, but the second does not.
Thanks,

Thanks, celopes, for asking for the additional code. I decided to play with the json file and fixed the problem by using simple numbers for the pk's. Here's the JSON that fixes the problem for the models and tests I posted:
[
{"pk": "1",
"model": "lawandgospel.biblebook",
"fields": {"name": "Luke", "description": "The Gospel According to St. Luke."}},
{"pk": "2",
"model": "lawandgospel.task",
"fields": {"empathy": 0, "name": "Study the Gospel of Luke", "level": "Catachumen",
"energy": 1, "focus": 0, "experience": 1, "drop_percentage": 10, "talents": 0,
"bibleBook": "1", "percent_per_task": 5, "denarii": 0,
"description": "The Book of Luke"}}
