Scrapy spider is not working
- by Zeynel
Since nothing so far is working I started a new project with
python scrapy-ctl.py startproject Nu
I followed the tutorial exactly, and created the folders, and a new spider
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.sgml import SgmlLinkExtractor
from scrapy.selector import HtmlXPathSelector
from scrapy.item import Item
from Nu.items import NuItem
from urls import u
class NuSpider(CrawlSpider):
domain_name = "wcase"
start_urls = ['http://www.whitecase.com/aabbas/']
names = hxs.select('//td[@class="altRow"][1]/a/@href').re('/.a\w+')
u = names.pop()
rules = (Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=(u, )), callback='parse_item'),)
def parse(self, response):
self.log('Hi, this is an item page! %s' % response.url)
hxs = HtmlXPathSelector(response)
item = Item()
item['school'] = hxs.select('//td[@class="mainColumnTDa"]').re('(?<=(JD,\s))(.*?)(\d+)')
return item
SPIDER = NuSpider()
and when I run
C:\Python26\Scripts\Nu>python scrapy-ctl.py crawl wcase
I get
[Nu] ERROR: Could not find spider for domain: wcase
The other spiders at least are recognized by Scrapy, this one is not. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
