I write a small spider, when I run and it can't call pipeline.
After debug for a while, I find the bug code area.
The logic of the spider is that I crawl the first url to fetch cookie, then I crawl the second url to download the code picture with cookie, and I post some data I prepare to the third url. And If the text I get from the picture wrong then I download again to post the third url repeatedly, until I got the right text.
Let me show you the code:

it output:

The problem seems to be that the
parse
method only yieldsscrapy.Request
objects, neverscrapy.Item
instances.The
else:
branch calls the generatorparseData(body)
but doesn't use the data it can produce (namelycontainItem
objects).One way to solve this is to loop on the generator results and yield them one-by-one:
