Hi Chris, added the below to a new file called events.json in event/fixtures. [ { "model": "event.RecurringEventParent", "pk": 1, "fields": { "title" : "London North InterGroup", "slug":"parent", "post_date":"2020-08-09", "recurring_start_date": "2020-08-15", "recurring_end_date":"2020-10-15", "start_time" : "07:00:00", "end_time":"08:30:00", "recurring_index" : 0, "recurring_month" : 0, "address": "Flat 5, 196", "postcode": "EC2V 6HH", "type": 1 }
} ]

I then exec'd python manage.py loaddata events
follwed by python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 my events are still empty in my local portal.

Did you create the file with dumpdata?

Check your changes into a branch and I can have a look tonight 👀

What's the rationale behind this issue? I'm coming in cold - just want to understand it. Perhaps I can help!

Raja is creating some fixtures to have some events data when a developer builds the project

Oh nice. Should be handy for devs working on events :)

Hi @RajaKrovvidi I have had a look at your approach and I can see where there is an issue Instead of using dumpdata/loaddata and fixtures I think we will need to create events programmatically. The reason for this is that you need to create wagtail page objects which are a little different from django models so fixtures dont work best. If you look in the cms_admin management command I have created a service page using wagtail programmatically. Also I created a suite of tests testing the event model in events/models.py. Also check this link for inspiration : https://www.codista.com/en/blog/create-wagtail-pages-programmatically/
