Scrapy custom exporter

Question

I am defining an item exporter that pushes items to a message queue. Below is the code.

from scrapy.contrib.exporter import JsonLinesItemExporter
from scrapy.uti         


        

Answer 1

I hit the same problem, although being probably some version updates ahead. The little detail that solved it for me was setting FEED_URI = "something" in settings.py. Without this, the entry in FEED_EXPORTERS wasn't respected at all.
