Hi there,

I have written some tests with fixtures for some modules I'm working on.

I stubled uppon a strange behaviour.
When setting the Values for some Enum Fields in my Fixtures, these values will be ignored and the enums default value is chosen instead.

Has anybody came across the same error and might can offer a solution?

I've not a lot of experience with testing, so I can't confirm, sorry. But I just wanted to say that if you feel this is a bug, please post it on Github as an issue for the framework.

Hi, sorry, I should have responded to my post earlier.

I did some more testing yesterday and you are right. Fixtures for enums are working.

But:
There seem to be a few reserved words I didn't knew. My Enum Attribute was called "Status" (the column name, not the value) and that didn't worked. When I renamed it to "State" instead all was working fine.

kind regards
