Stop Scrapy from logging spider output to Visual Studio Code terminal-CodePudding

Whenever I run my spider scrapy crawl test -O test.json in my Visual Studio Code terminal I get output like this:

2023-01-31 14:31:45 [scrapy.core.scraper] DEBUG: Scraped from <200 https://www.example.com/product/1

I want to log all this, including the print('hi') lines in my Spider but I DON'T want the spider output logged, in this case {'price': 100, 'newprice': 90 }.

Inspecting the above I think I need to disable only the downloader/response_bytes. I've been reading this https://docs.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/logging.html, but I'm not sure where or how to configure my exact use case. I have hundreds of spiders and I don't want to have to add a configuration in each, but rather apply the loggin config to all spiders. Do I need to add a separate config file or add to an existing like scrapy.cfg?

UPDATE 1

So here's my folder structure where I created settings.py:

Scrapy\
    tt_spiders\
        myspiders\
            spider1.py
            spider2.py
            settings.py
        middlewares.py
        pipelines.py
        settings.py
    scrapy.cfg
    settings.py

settings.py

if __name__ == "__main__":
    disable_list = ['scrapy.core.engine', 'scrapy.core.scraper', 'scrapy.spiders']
    for element in disable_list:
        logger = logging.getLogger(element)
        logger.disabled = True

    spider = 'example_spider'
    settings = get_project_settings()
    settings['USER_AGENT'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36'
    process = CrawlerProcess(settings)
    process.crawl(spider)
    process.start()

This throws 3 errors, which makes sense as I have not defined these:

"logging" is not defined
"get_project_settings" is not defined
"CrawlerProcess" is not defined

But more importantly, what I don't understand, this code contains spider = 'example_spider', where I want this logic to apply to ALL spiders.

So I reduced it to:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    disable_list = ['scrapy.core.scraper']

But still the output is logged. What am I missing?

CodePudding user response：

Let's assume that we have this spider:

spider.py:

import scrapy


class ExampleSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'example_spider'
    allowed_domains = ['scrapingclub.com']
    start_urls = ['https://scrapingclub.com/exercise/detail_basic/']

    def parse(self, response):
        item = dict()
        item['title'] = response.xpath('//h3/text()').get()
        item['price'] = response.xpath('//div[@]/h4/text()').get()
        yield item

And its output is:

...
[scrapy.middleware] INFO: Enabled item pipelines:
[]
[scrapy.core.engine] INFO: Spider opened
[scrapy.extensions.logstats] INFO: Crawled 0 pages (at 0 pages/min), scraped 0 items (at 0 items/min)

...

If you want to disable logging for specific line then just copy the text inside the square brackets and disable its logger. e.g.: [scrapy.core.scraper] DEBUG: Scraped from <200 https://scrapingclub.com/exercise/detail_basic/>.

main.py:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    disable_list = ['scrapy.core.engine', 'scrapy.core.scraper', 'scrapy.spiders']
    for element in disable_list:
        logger = logging.getLogger(element)
        logger.disabled = True

    spider = 'example_spider'
    settings = get_project_settings()
    settings['USER_AGENT'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36'
    process = CrawlerProcess(settings)
    process.crawl(spider)
    process.start()

If you want to disable some of the extensions you can set them to None in settings.py:

EXTENSIONS = {
    'scrapy.extensions.telnet': None,
    'scrapy.extensions.logstats.LogStats': None,
    'scrapy.extensions.corestats.CoreStats': None
}

Update 1:

Add just this to settings.py:

import logging
disable_list = ['scrapy.core.engine', 'scrapy.core.scraper', 'scrapy.spiders']
for element in disable_list:
    logger = logging.getLogger(element)
    logger.disabled = True
