error running scrapyd project

Question

I had deployed my project(sogou) successfully, but while I run this:

curl http://localhost:6800/schedule.json -d project=sogou -d spider=sogou

it failed:

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument '_job'

Answer 1

It is hard to find the problem without source code but most likely you override __init__ of your spider and not it doesn't accept arbitrary **kwargs , while scrapyd passes job identifier as spider parameter. In this case you should add **kwargs to spider's constructor like this:

class Spider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'spider'

    def __init__(self, param1, param2, **kwargs):
        ...
