scrapy - spider module def functions not getting invoked - python

My intention is to invoke start_requests method to login to the website. After login, scrape the website. Based on the log message, I see that
1. But, I see that start_request is not invoked.
2. call_back function of the parse is also not invoking.
Whats actually happening is spider is only loading the urls in the start_urls.
Question:
Why the spider is not crawling through other pages(say page 2, 3, 4)?
Why looking from spider is not working?
Note:
My method to calculate page number and url creation is correct. I verified it.
I referred this link to write this code Using loginform with scrapy

I figured out the crapy mistake i did!!!!
I didn't place the functions inside the class. Thats why .... things didnt work as expected. Now, I added a tab space to all the fuctions and things started to work fine
Thanks #user2989777 and #Granitosaurus for coming forward to debug

Scrapy already has form request manager called FormRequest.
In most of the cases it will find the correct form by itself. You can try:
>>> scrapy shell "https://www.zauba.com/import-gold/p-1-hs-code.html"
from scrapy import FormRequest
login_data={'name':'mylogin', 'pass':'mypass'})
request = FormRequest.from_response(response, formdata=login_data)
print(request.body)
# b'form_build_id=form-Lf7bFJPTN57MZwoXykfyIV0q3wzZEQqtA5s6Ce-bl5Y&form_id=user_login_block&op=Log+in&pass=mypass&name=mylogin'
Once you log in any requests chained afterwards will have a session cookie attached to them so you only need to login once at the beginning of your chain.

Custom Files Pipeline in Scrapy never downloads Files even though logs should all functions being accessed

I have the following custom pipeline for downloading JSON files. It was functioning fine until I need to add the __init__ function, in which I subclass the FilesPipeline class in order to add a few new properties. The pipeline takes URLs that are to API endpoints and downloads their responses. The folders are properly created when running the spider via scrapy crawl myspider and the two print statements in the file_path function show the correct values (filename and filepath). However, the files are never actually downloaded.
I did find a few similar questions about custom file pipelines and files not downloading (here (the solution was they needed to yield the items instead of returning them) and here (the solution was needing to adjust the ROBOTSTXT_OBEY setting) for example), but the solutions did not work for me.
What am I doing wrong (or forgetting to do when subclassing the FilesPipeline)? I've been racking my brain over this issue for a good 3 hours and my google-fu has not yielded any resolutions for my case.
class LocalJsonFilesPipeline(FilesPipeline):
FILES_STORE = "json_src"
FILES_URLS_FIELD = "json_url"
FILES_RESULT_FIELD = "local_json"
def __init__(self, store_uri, use_response_url=False, filename_regex=None, settings=None):
# super(LocalJsonFilesPipeline, self).__init__(store_uri)
self.store_uri = store_uri
self.use_response_url = use_response_url
if filename_regex:
self.filename_regex = re.compile(filename_regex)
else:
self.filename_regex = filename_regex

def from_crawler(cls, crawler):
if not crawler.spider:
return BasePipeline()
store_uri = f'{cls.FILES_STORE}/{crawler.spider.name}'
settings = crawler.spider.settings
use_response_url = settings.get('JSON_FILENAME_USE_RESPONSE_URL', False)
filename_regex = settings.get('JSON_FILENAME_REGEX')
return cls(store_uri, use_response_url, filename_regex, settings)
def parse_path(self, value):
if self.filename_regex:
try:
return self.filename_regex.findall(value)[0]
except IndexError:
pass
# fallback method in the event no regex is provided by the spider
# example: /p/russet-potatoes-5lb-bag-good-38-gather-8482/-/A-77775602
link_path = os.path.splitext(urlparse(value).path)[0] # omit extension if there is one
link_params = link_path.rsplit('/', 1)[1] # preserve the last portion separated by forward-slash (A-77775602)
return link_params if '=' not in link_params else link_params.split('=', 1)[1]
def get_media_requests(self, item, info):
json_url = item.get(self.FILES_URLS_FIELD)
if json_url:
filename_url = json_url if not self.use_response_url else item.get('url', '')
return [Request(json_url, meta={'filename': self.parse_path(filename_url), 'spider': info.spider.name})]

final_path = f'{self.FILES_STORE}/{request.meta["spider"]}/{request.meta["filename"]}.json'

custom_settings = {

},
'FILENAME_REGEX': [r'products\/(.+?)\/ProductInfo\+ProductDetails']

Python / Scrapy: CrawlSpider stops after fetching start_urls

I have wasted days to get my mind around Scrapy, reading the docs and other Scrapy Blogs and Q&A ... and now I am about to do what men hate most: Ask for directions ;-) The problem is: My spider opens, fetches the start_urls, but apparently does nothing with them. Instead it closes immediately and that was that. Apparently, I do not even get to the first self.log() statement.
What I've got so far is this:

Is it that the login routine should not end with a callback, but some kind of return/yield statement? Or what am I doing wrong? Unfortunately, the docs and tutorials I have seen so far only give me a vague idea of how every bit connects to the others, especially Scrapy's docs seem to be written as a reference for people who already know a lot about Scrapy.

you do not need allow parameter, because there is only one link in the tag selected by XPath.
I do not understand the regex in allow parameter but at least you should escape the ?.

Scrapy spider close prematurely

I've programmed Scrapy to scrap a couple of thousand url link that I've stored on the database. I've programmed a spider to call scrapy.Requests function to be passed with url from the database.However after scraping 1-2 page the spider closes prematurely (without error). I don't know why this happened.

Changed the scrapy.Request call to absolute url link for the next product.. it worked. I don't understand why this happens.. somehow the list.pop() statement doesn't work.. even though I've change it to a string.
Try dont_filter=True in your scrapy.Request(). I was having a similar issue with the duplicate filter causing the spider (also using pop()) to close prematurely and I see you have an 'offsite/filtered': 1 there that may have caused a filtering issue.

scrapy a weird bug code that can't call pipeline

I write a small spider, when I run and it can't call pipeline.
After debug for a while, I find the bug code area.
The logic of the spider is that I crawl the first url to fetch cookie, then I crawl the second url to download the code picture with cookie, and I post some data I prepare to the third url. And If the text I get from the picture wrong then I download again to post the third url repeatedly, until I got the right text.
Let me show you the code:

The problem seems to be that the parse method only yields scrapy.Request objects, never scrapy.Item instances.
The else: branch calls the generator parseData(body) but doesn't use the data it can produce (namely containItem objects).
One way to solve this is to loop on the generator results and yield them one-by-one:
def parse(self, response):
body = response.body.decode('gbk')
num = body.find('alert')
if num != -1:
# means CAPTCHA validation fails, need to re-request the CAPTCHA
yield scrapy.Request(self.vcodeUrl+'?t='+'%.f' % (datetime.now().microsecond / 1000),
headers={
'Referer': 'http://jwxt.dgut.edu.cn/jwweb/ZNPK/TeacherKBFB.aspx',
'Cookie': self.findSessionId[0]+'='+self.findSessionId[1]
},
callback=self.getAndHandleYzm)
else:
# parse data
for i in self.parseData(body):
yield i
# item = containItem()
# item['first'] = len(body)
# return item

Scrapy CrawlSpider is not following Links

I'm trying to crawl a page that uses next buttons to move to new pages using scrapy. I'm using an instance of crawl spider and have defined the Linkextractor to extract new pages to follow. However, the spider just crawls the start url and stops at that. I've added the spider code and the log. Anyone has any idea why the spider is not able to crawl the pages.

I got the answer myself. There were two issues:
process_links was "http://www.realcommercial.com.au/" although it was already there. I thought it would give back the relative url.
The regular expression in link extractor was not correct.
I made changes to both of these and it worked.
