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

just to add my learning point here.

I had my crawler working, it suddenly started giving the error and came here to find the solution.

couldn't fix it, so checked my changes and i stupidly created a new variable "name".

This causes scrapy to not find the spider name also.
