[Django]-Failing fixture load: DoesNotExist: … matching query does not exist

16👍

✅

I had pre_save and post_save signal triggers on my Company model. These were not checking the raw param and were trying to do some smart things on database values which did not exist.

When fixture files are processed, the data is saved to the database as is. Model defined save() methods are not called, and any pre_save or post_save signals will be called with raw=True since the instance only contains attributes that are local to the model what-s-a-fixture.

from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from .models import MyModel

def my_handler(**kwargs):
    # disable the handler during fixture loading
    if kwargs['raw']:
        return
    ...

post_save.connect(my_handler, sender=MyModel)
