Create scraper for Allegheny County Redevelopment Authority

[richiebful]

This meetings webpage is extremely simple, just a list of dates and an address at the top. The scraper is similarly straightforward.

The current page hasn't been updated to 2020 yet. I'm having some trouble getting this scraper to find the events for 2019 though, which I assumed it would. Here is my terminal session. Any ideas as to what might be happening?

Also the city_scrapers/spiders directory lists "alle_redevelopment_authority.py" and "alle_redevelopment_authority.py~" - did you mean to remove the second file?

Thanks! --Ben

Hey there - try syncing your updates to latest with

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master

and delete the travis file. You may have some pipfile and pipfile lock conflicts - try to keep the changes from upstream with git checkout --theirs -- <filename> on any merge conflicts.
