37081	loaddata fails when a directory in the fixture path contains a dot	Alisson Silveira	Alisson Silveira	"How to reproduce:

Create a fixture in a directory containing a dot, for example:
{{{
fixtures/fix.v1/data.json
}}}

Run (without specifying the file extension):
{{{
python manage.py loaddata fixtures/fix.v1/data
}}}

This raises:
{{{
CommandError: Problem installing fixture 'fixtures/fix': v1/data is not a known serialization format.
}}}

This occurs when a directory in the fixture path contains a dot, as the full path is incorrectly split on ""."" instead of operating on the file name.

Expected behavior: Django should correctly determine the fixture format based on the file name and load the fixture successfully, ignoring dots in directory names.

A fix has been identified and will be submitted in a pull request."	Bug	assigned	Core (Management commands)	6.0	Normal			Alisson Silveira	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
