Description

Hi,
Inside the conftest.py I have following configuration

@pytest.fixture(scope='session')
def django_db_setup(django_db_setup, django_db_blocker):
    with django_db_blocker.unblock():
        call_command('loaddata', 'tests/test_data/test_data1.json', database='default')
        call_command('loaddata', 'tests/test_data/test_data2.json', database='ipr')

As you can see i use two different DB's

However, test first test case has access to the populated data and is successful but all test cases after that have no data. After debugging I have figured out that the tearDown methods flushs the db and no loaddata occures anymore.

HELP, I need somebody :-)

Research direction

Start with the conftest.py django_db_setup fixture and the django_db_blocker context shown in the report. Reproduce the two-database setup with both loaddata calls, then trace when teardown flushes each database; done means the populated data remains available to every test or the expected fixture behavior is documented.
