YAML Fixture is not working. DeserializationError

[abisson]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to do: python manage.py syncdb and I always get this error:

Problem installing fixture '.../translations/fixtures/initial_data.yaml': Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 190, in handle

    for obj in objects:

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/serializers/pyyaml.py", line 62, in Deserializer

    raise DeserializationError(e)

DeserializationError: mapping values are not allowed here

  in "/.../translations/fixtures/initial_data.yaml", line 2, column 7

Model:

from django.db import models

class Language(models.Model):

    code = models.CharField(max_length=2)

    display_name = models.CharField(max_length=16, blank=False)

def __unicode__(self):

    return self.display_name

Fixture:

- model: translations.Language

    pk: 1

    fields:

        code: fr

        display_name: Français

- model: translations.Language

    pk: 2

    fields:

        code: en

        display_name: English

I am running PyYAML 3.10! Any ideas?! :(

Thanks a lot,

Antoine

Your yaml doesn't seem to be correctly formated, should be:

- model: translations.Language

  pk: 1

  fields:

      code: fr

      display_name: Français

- model: translations.Language

  pk: 2

  fields:

      code: en

      display_name: English

model, pk, and fields are all on the same indentation level.  Just spent some time trying to debug the same problem.
