23612	Relative fixture paths not working on Windows 8.1	Brandon Taylor	nobody	"I have a Django 1.6.6 project that is not loading fixtures from relative paths using Python 2.7.8 on Windows 8.1. Works just fine in Linux.

Example Test Case:

    # cart/tests.py

    class CartTestBase(TestCase):
        fixtures = ['products/fixtures/product_categories.json',
        'products/fixtures/brands.json', 'products/fixtures/products.json']

Which fits into a directory structure of:

    ecomm_app/
        cart/
            __init__.py
            models.py
            tests.py
            . . .
          
        products/
            fixtures/
                products/fixtures/product_categories.json
                products/fixtures/brands.json
                products/fixtures/products.json
            __init__.py
            models.py
            . . .

The specific error message is:

    UserWarning: No fixture named 'products/fixtures/products' found.
    warnings.warn(""No fixture named '%s' found."" % fixture_name)

The corresponding app modules are listed in `INSTALLED_APPS` and work fine otherwise. Specifying an absolute path does work, but obviously isn't cross-platform. Specifying a root-relative path does not work, e.g.: `/products/fixtures/brands.json`

Moving the fixtures to `/cart/fixtures/` and referencing them by name only works."	Bug	new	Testing framework	1.7	Normal		windows fixtures		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
