manage.py --keepdb VS DataMigration as Initial Data

[Carlos Leite]

Hi there, 

I'm running a Django==1.8 app 

I read in the docs [1], to consider doing a data migration to load initial data on db, since  initial fixture is consider deprecated since 1.7. 

Well, to keep my app up-to-date I choose to load "initial data" trough a  data migration. 

My problem, SEEMS to be when I run tests using the "--keepdb" 

$> python manage.py --keepdb 

The second time I run into tests, the inital data is loss! 

is there a pattern to solve that, or i need code on tests to check de initial data and reload it ?

Exactly . thanks. I'm happy i'm not alone ;) ...  and did nothing wrong.

..  I was thinking what could be done in the core to solve...

The easyiest way, is keeping flushing data at the end of the tests,
but run data inserts  in migrations when the tests starts, even when --keepdb is present

...  still thinking
