Description (last modified by Mariusz Felisiak)

loaddata.py incorrectly throws an ImproperlyConfigured exception when FIXTURE_DIRS is a list of one. See:
https://github.com/django/django/blame/798835112d81b852efaae0e067af389c733cd1b3/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py#L296

I changed this code to:

286         print(fixture_dirs)
287         print(len(fixture_dirs))
288         print(len(set(fixture_dirs)))
289         if len(fixture_dirs) != len(set(fixture_dirs)):
290             raise ImproperlyConfigured("settings.FIXTURE_DIRS contains duplicates.")

and set my FIXTURE_DIRS like so: FIXTURE_DIRS=('piece/core/fixtures','piece/core/fixtures2')

when I run loaddata I see:

('piece/core/fixtures', 'piece/core/fixtures2')
2
2
Installed 6 object(s) from 2 fixture(s)

so far so good. Now set it like so: FIXTURE_DIRS=('piece/core/fixtures'')

I run it and get:

piece/core/fixtures
19
12

FIXTURE_DIRS=('piece/core/fixtures') is not a list or tuple it's a string that contains duplicates e.g. 'e'.
