问题
I'm trying to figure out scrapy and splash. As an exercise, I tried to make splash click on the button on the following javascript heavy website: http://thestlbrowns.com/ and then return the html of the newly rendered page.
My code looks like this:
import scrapy
import json
from scrapy import Request
class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
name = 'spiderman'
domain = ['web']
start_urls = ['http://thestlbrowns.com/']
def start_requests(self):
script = """
function main(splash)
local url = splash.args.url
assert(splash:go(url))
assert(splash:wait(1))
assert(splash:runjs("$('#title.play-ball > a:first-child').click()"))
assert(splash:wait(1))
-- return result as a JSON object
return {
html = splash:html(),
-- we don't need screenshot or network activity
--png = splash:png(),
--har = splash:har(),
}
end
"""
for url in self.start_urls:
yield Request(url, self.parse, meta={'splash': {'args':{'lua_source': script},'endpoint':'execute',}})
def parse(self, response):
splash_json = json.loads(response.body_as_unicode())
However when I run this code I get the following output:
$ scrapy crawl spiderman

Q: Does anyone know how to fix this/what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: When I add script = quote(script) before passing the script to splash, I get the following error output:
Message: 'Bad request to Splash: {\'type\': \'ScriptError\', \'description\': \'Error happened while executing Lua script\', ' \
'\'error\': 400, \'info\': {\'error\': "unexpected symbol near \'%\'", \'type\': \'LUA_INIT_ERROR\', \'line_number\': 1, ' \
'\'source\': \'[string "%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20function%20main..."]\',' \
' \'message\': \'[string "%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20function%20main..."]:1: unexpected symbol near \\\'%\\\'\'}}'
回答1:
Splash response does contain some hints:
{'description': 'Error happened while executing Lua script',
'error': 400,
'info': {'error': "bad argument #2 to 'assert' (string expected, got table)",
'line_number': 8,
'message': 'Lua error: [string "..."]:8: bad argument #2 to \'assert\' (string expected, got table)',
'source': '[string "..."]',
'type': 'LUA_ERROR'},
'type': 'ScriptError'}
If you try your script in Splash's web interface (it is your friend!), you have the same error, coming from this line:
assert(splash:runjs("$('#title.play-ball > a:first-child').click()"))
If you change that Lua script a bit, catching the error (by the way, I believe you meant .title.play-ball > a:first-child because there's no element with id="title"):
function main(splash)
local url = splash.args.url
assert(splash:go(url))
assert(splash:wait(1))
-- go back 1 month in time and wait a little (1 second)
ok, err = splash:runjs("$('.title.play-ball > a:first-child').click()")
assert(splash:wait(1))
-- return result as a JSON object
return {
html = splash:html(),
error = err
-- we don't need screenshot or network activity
--png = splash:png(),
--har = splash:har(),
}
end
and running it in the web interface, you get an "error" object in the response, which shows:
error: Object
js_error: "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $"
js_error_message: "Can't find variable: $"
js_error_type: "ReferenceError"
message: "JS error: \"ReferenceError: Can't find variable: $\""
splash_method: "runjs"
type: "JS_ERROR"
It appears the $ magic is not working on that website. You can use it in Chrome console for example, but with Splash you probably/apparently need to load jQuery (or something similar), with splash:autoload usually. For example:
function main(splash)
assert(splash:autoload("https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"))
local url = splash.args.url
assert(splash:go(url))
assert(splash:wait(1))
-- go back 1 month in time and wait a little (1 second)
ok, err = splash:runjs("$('.title.play-ball > a:first-child').click()")
assert(splash:wait(1))
-- return result as a JSON object
return {
html = splash:html(),
error = err
-- we don't need screenshot or network activity
--png = splash:png(),
--har = splash:har(),
}
end
Note that this JavaScript code did not work for me with Splash (the screenshot did not show the "History" thing).
But I tried with the following in the web interface, and I got the "History" show (in the png screenshot -- which is commented here):
function main(splash)
-- no need to load jQuery when you use splash:select
--assert(splash:autoload("https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"))
local url = splash.args.url
assert(splash:go(url))
assert(splash:wait(15))
local element = splash:select('.title.play-ball > a:first-child')
local bounds = element:bounds()
assert(element:mouse_click{x=bounds.width/2, y=bounds.height/2})
assert(splash:wait(5))
-- return result as a JSON object
return {
html = splash:html(),
-- we don't need screenshot or network activity
--png = splash:png(),
--har = splash:har(),
}
end
Indeed, Splash 2.3 has helpers for that kind of interaction (e.g clicking on an element). See for example splash:select and element:mouse_click
Also note that I increased the wait() values.
回答2:
You need to "quote" your script before you pass it to Splash:
script = """Your script"""
from urllib.parse import quote
script = quote(script)
# 'Your%20script'
