I am working on a scrapy project to download images from a site that requires authentication. Everything works fine and I can upload images. I need to pause and resume the spider to scan images when necessary. Therefore, I used everything that was mentioned in the screening guide to do it as follows. When launching the spider, the following query was used
scrapy crawl somespider -s JOBDIR=crawls/somespider-1
To interrupt the engine, press CTRL + C. The same command is used to resume reuse.
But after resuming the spider closes within a few minutes, it does not resume from where it left off.
Update
class SampleSpider(Spider):
name = "sample project"
allowed_domains = ["xyz.com"]
start_urls = (
'http://abcyz.com/',
)
def parse(self, response):
return FormRequest.from_response(response,
formname='Loginform',
formdata={'username': 'Name',
'password': '****'},
callback=self.after_login)
def after_login(self, response):
if "authentication error" in str(response.body).lower():
print "I am error"
return
else:
start_urls = ['..','..']
for url in start_urls:
yield Request(url=urls,callback=self.parse_phots,dont_filter=True)
def parse_photos(self,response):
**downloading image here**
what am I doing wrong?
This is the log I get when I launch a spider after a pause
