Scrapy spider not found error

Question

This is Windows 7 with python 2.7

I have a scrapy project in a directory called caps (this is where scrapy.cfg is)

My spider is located in caps\\caps\\spiders\\c

Answer 1

Make sure you have set the "name" property of the spider. Example:

class campSpider(BaseSpider):
   name = 'campSpider'

Without the name property, the scrapy manager will not be able to find your spider.
