feedexporter object has no attribute slot

feedexporter object has no attribute slot

The eternal struggle with Scrapy exceptions!

The error message indicates that the FeedExporter object has no attribute called slot. This is a problem because your code is trying to access this non-existent attribute.

After analyzing your code, I found a few potential issues:

  1. Check your FeedExporter settings: Make sure you have properly configured the FEED_EXPORTERS setting in your Scrapy project's settings.py file. It seems like you're using the built-in FeedExporter, but there might be some configuration issue.
  2. Verify the S3 bucket and region: Double-check that your S3 bucket name and region are correctly set in your settings.py file. The error message suggests that Scrapy is trying to access a non-existent attribute, which could be related to the S3 bucket or region configuration.
  3. Inspect your spider's code: Review your spider's code for any errors or inconsistencies. Perhaps there's an issue with the way you're handling items or exporting them to S3.

To debug this further, I recommend:

  1. Run your spider in debug mode (scrapy crawl -d my_spider) and inspect the error message again.
  2. Check the Scrapy logs for any additional information about the exception.
  3. Verify that your AWS credentials are correctly set up on your machine (if you're running Scrapy locally).
  4. Try exporting your items to a local file instead of S3, just to isolate whether the issue is related to S3 or not.

If none of these steps help, please provide more details about your spider's code and settings, as well as any relevant error messages or logs. I'll do my best to assist you in troubleshooting this issue!
