Oris there an easier method I should be using? Or could I add some test data to the extension itself?

I tried the pg_dump and all I got for the output was this:
https://gist.github.com/simonconnah/ff7d5da342d7a1cab3d05f24f495a89e
there was definitely extra content in the database at the time. Things like users and blog posts etc but none of that
seemsto have been included in the dump. Having said that I did use JetBrains DataGrip to do the pg_dump so maybe there
isa command-line argument I am missing?
