Django 无法加载数据并出现反序列化错误

Question

I am running Wagtail which runs on django and when running the dumpdata the following occurs

python manage.py dumpdata --indent 2 --output dumps.json
CommandError: Unable to serialize database: no such table: wagtailimages_uploadedimage

After that I delete the sqlite database and remove the migrations from the apps migrations directory so I can have an empty database and test the dumped data. After running migrate I execute loaddata dump1.json and the following error comes up

Tracking file by folder pattern:  migrations
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Desktop/projects/mytestwebapp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/core/serializers/json.py", line 68, in Deserializer

    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I have tried also to exclude some of the things i dont need while dumping, using the following

dumpdata --natural-foreign --indent 2 -e contenttypes -e auth.permission -e wagtailcore.groupcollectionpermission -e wagtailcore.grouppagepermission -e wagtailimages.rendition -e sessions > dump1.json

But it didnt make any difference.

The application is a simple blog following the demo shown here .

Answer 1

use --output instead of > to avoid sending console(stdout) debugging info to your dumped data, also exclude the irrelevant models

python manage.py dumpdata --natural-foreign --indent 2 -e contenttypes -e auth.permission -e wagtailcore.groupcollectionpermission -e wagtailcore.grouppagepermission -e wagtailimages.rendition -e sessions -e wagtailimages.uploadedimage --output dumps.json

Answer 2

Based on your output, the dumped data is empty thus it throws the following error.

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Ways to dump your data:

1. Drop your database by deleting your sqlite database file
2. Delete your migrations folder
3. python manage.py makemigrations
4. python manage.py migrate
5. Try add some sample data by creating a user or other data
6. Run dump data again python manage.py dumpdata -output my_dumps.json

Then, check the my_dumps.json file, if there are some data inside, then you can try load your data using python manage.py loaddata my_dumps.json
