Just released a new version of the Managed Fixtures plugin, previously
known as Export Fixtures.
The name change comes with some added functionality for managing the
fixtures, primarily with two new import tasks for importing specific
Models
or all of them within the test/fixtures directory.
Both new import tasks take the exported fixtures, and allow you to
directly
import one, or all of them.
= Description
This plugin is a super lightweight tool used to manage all your
fixtures,
whether it is exporting or importing them.
So if you want to export all your data from your production server into
your
development environment, this will simplify the process without having
to
load up your database manager.
Similarly, if you want to import a selected set of Models, you can do
that
using the appropriate tasks.
