5608	Allow loading test data fixtures before running tests	eikke@…	nobody	"When using doctests as testing framework within a Django application it can be annoying no initial data is available in the database. One could use the initial_data fixture to preload some data, but this is not ideal in a production environment, as you don't want any test data in your production database, whilst you might still want to ship some initial_data which should also be loaded when initializing the application.

This results in a need to define fixtures to be loaded in the test database before the tests are started. Attached patch provides this functionality: it allows to set a TEST_FIXTURES tuple in settings.py, which will be loaded into the test database once it is created.

Eg:
{{{ TEST_FIXTURES = ('test_data', ) }}}"		closed	Testing framework	dev		wontfix	test fixtures		Unreviewed	1	0	0	1	0	0
