Comment (by harshitha1869):

Hi, I would like to work on this issue.

I understand that when loading fixtures without specifying the extension,
Django fails to detect unsupported serialization formats and shows "No
fixtures found" instead of a helpful warning.

I will start by reproducing the issue locally and then explore how fixture
discovery works in loaddata.

Please let me know if there are any specific considerations.

Comment:

I'm going to work on this. I've reproduced the issue on the current main
branch — running `loaddata test_data` fails with "No fixture named
'test_data' found" even when `test_data.bogus` exists in the fixtures
directory, with no hint that the format is unrecognized.

Planning to add a fallback check: if no fixture matches the known
serialization formats, scan for files with the same basename and
report the unknown extension explicitly.
