Tried to stop a LoopingCall that was not running

[luanbe]

I also added two custom periodic monitors and imported monitor

from spidermon.contrib.scrapy.monitors import (
    ErrorCountMonitor,
    FinishReasonMonitor,
    ItemValidationMonitor,
    UnwantedHTTPCodesMonitor,
)

I didn't find the reason that got this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/scrapy/utils/defer.py", line 157, in maybeDeferred_coro
    result = f(*args, **kw)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydispatch/robustapply.py", line 55, in robustApply

Any update on this issue? I also faced the same issue today.

I got this error when my spider had a few timeout requests and spider close action was triggered but failed with following reason and later above error

File "/app/python/lib/python3.9/site-packages/spidermon/runners.py", line 29, in run
    return self.run_suite()

Hello, could you please provide more details about this so we can replicate it?

What Spidermon and Scrapy version were you using? What Reactor was installed?

I see some weird URLS like:

• http://runners.py
• http://action.run
• http://self.data/

Are you sure the monitor and/or actions were properly configured?

Hi @VMRuiz

I actually added one "close spider" action dynamically if certain condition is fulfilled to the moniter suite that runs periodically
self.monitors_failed_actions.append(CloseSpiderAction)

We are using scrapy == 2.5.1 and spidermon == 1.17.0 versions.

and twisted reacter is installed:

from scrapy.utils.reactor import install_reactor
install_reactor("twisted.internet.asyncioreactor.AsyncioSelectorReactor")
