Scrapy CrawlerProcess不使用CrawlSpider保存数据

Question

The following code will execute, create the file with no errors. However, it is not saving to the json file.

I turned off autothrottle, which in the past has interfered with downloading data, but it didn't fix the issue.

Scrapy==1.4.0

class MySpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = "spidy"
    allowed_domains = ["cnn.com"]
    start_urls = ["http://www.cnn.com"]    

    rules = [Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=['cnn.com/.+']), callback='parse_item', follow=True)]    

    def parse_item(self, response):

        print('went to: {}'.format(response.url))

        yield {'url': response.url}         

FILE_NAME = 'my_data.json'
SETTINGS = {
            'USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)',
            'FEED_FORMAT': 'json',
            'FEED_URI': FILE_NAME,          
            } 

process = CrawlerProcess(SETTINGS)
process.crawl(MySpider)
process.start() 

EDIT:

The scraper is getting the data as seen in the log:

We can see the scraper is visiting the URLs, crawling additional urls on the page, getting the response URL (as see with "went to: ") then returning the data with "{'url':}, eg {'url': ' http://www.cnn.com/us '}

Answer 1

So your code as such works fine, but I assume you stop it twice or kill it which makes the json blank. I would change two things.

One use jsonlines instead of json . This would make sure that even if I kill the spider I won't loose too many items. Then each line itself is a valid JSON, so I can append to same file. Also if you break the program in between you will get a invalid JSON

Second, I would set the concurrent items to a lower value so items are exported more often (Default value is 100)

from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess
from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule

from scrapy.linkextractor import LinkExtractor

class MySpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = "spidy"
    allowed_domains = ["cnn.com"]
    start_urls = ["http://www.cnn.com"]

    rules = [Rule(LinkExtractor(allow=['cnn.com/.+']), callback='parse_item', follow=True)]

    def parse_item(self, response):

        print('went to: {}'.format(response.url))

        yield {'url': response.url}

FILE_NAME = 'my_data.jsonl'
SETTINGS = {
            'USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)',
            'FEED_FORMAT': 'jsonlines',
            'FEED_URI': FILE_NAME,
            'CONCURRENT_ITEMS': 1
            }

process = CrawlerProcess(SETTINGS)
process.crawl(MySpider)
process.start()

After that you will find the data does get exported fine
