How to fix 'No module found' and 'int object has no attribute 'splitlines'?

Question

I'm trying to run a spider on my website and running a scrapyrt listen server on my desktop. It tells me my module 'webscrape' cannot be found when I run the spider and also gives me an 'Int object has no splitlines attribute.'

https://github.com/scrapy/scrapyd/issues/311 provides a solution for scrapyd. https://github.com/scrapinghub/scrapyrt/pull/84 appears to still be an issue.

So, I'm really at a loss here.

error code:

Project Layout:

-Job-Visualizer

 -app

  -webscrape(scrapyrt ran from here in venv)

   -spiders

When running the spider the spider code should return the results as expected.

Edit: Spider Code:

import scrapy
from scrapy_splash import SplashRequest

class IndeedSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'indeedspider'
    allowed_domains = ['https://www.indeed.com']

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        print('Spider being ran...')
        self.start_url = 'https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=financial+aid+advisor&l=Highland%2C+CA'
        self.links = []


    def modify_realtime_request(self, request):
        return SplashRequest(url, self.parse, args=splash_args, endpoint='render.html')

    def start_requests(self):
        print(self.start_url)
        urls = [
            self.start_url
        ]
        splash_args = {
            'html': 1,
            'png': 1,
            'width': 800,
            'render_all': 1,
        }
        for url in urls:
            yield SplashRequest(url, self.parse, endpoint='render.json', args=splash_args)

    def parse(self, response):
        html = response.body
        title = response.css('title').extract()
        titles = response.xpath("//div[@class= 'title']/a/text()").getall()
        locations = response.xpath("//div[@class= 'sjcl']/span/text()").getall()
        companies = response.css("div.sjcl.span.company a::text").getall()
        summarys = response.xpath("//div[@class= 'summary']/text()").getall()

Route Portion Code:

 params = {
                'spider_name': 'indeed_scraper',
                'start_requests': True
            }
            response = requests.get('http://localhost:9080/crawl.json', params)
            data = json.loads(response.text)
            print(data)

Answer 1

Solution: When creating a scrapy project, make sure that scrapy.cfg is outside the SCRAPY project folder.

Incorrect:

-app
 - webscrape
  - scrapy.cfg
  - __init__.py
  - items.py
  - middleware.py
   - spiders
    - spider.py

Correct:

-app
- scrapy.cfg
 - webscrape
  - __init__.py
  - items.py
  - middleware.py
   - spiders
    - spider.py

Correct Result:

{"status": "ok", "items": [], "spider_name": "indeedspider"}

Answer 2

Have you imported the module webscrape? Also you are using the wrong type of object so there is no splitlines attribute. If you print the object type, does it show as an int? Splitlines method only works on a string so you need to make sure the object you are calling it with is a string and not an int datatype.
