Is this project dead? - Githubissues

kundeng commented 5 years ago

Hi, doesn't look like it has been maintained for more than 1 year.

I tried to install it using vagrant or docker on either windows or linux. All resulted in failures for various errors.

Can someone point to me a canonical way that shouldn't fail and let's go from there.

For example docker on linux install results in a deadlock at starting: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' 2019-03-20 13:44:18.643469 [-] Site starting on 9002 2019-03-20 13:44:18.643809 [-] Starting factory <slyd.server.Site object at 0x7fab7374e048>

It could be installed successfully on my computer and launch without error but the spider can't run. The info suggests '' an unexpected error occurred. please notify the developers. Details have been logged on the console.''

Provided Portia is no longer been offered by Scrapinghub, I think the company is no longer funding the maintenance of this project. Source: https://support.scrapinghub.com/support/solutions/articles/22000200405-which-services-are-available-on-scrapy-cloud-

Are there any other visual scraping tools that can be installed and run on servers?
