Job Status Notification.

[monalisir]

Is there any way to notify client which job has been finished ?
So the client do not need to add a timer and check the status every period time.

There is ticket for this, #55, which is low on the priority list
until more users show interest andor someone comes up with a nice PR.

I see two alternatives.
You can either write an extension
and use it in all your deployed projects,
which should be simple for 1-2 projects,
or write a custom launcher
and configure your scrapyd to use it.

@Digenis If you don't mind. How are you able to add a path on the scrapyd.conf so I can use my launcher class on my module. Thanks.

Hi @jeromecaisip,

Make a package for your launcher module with setuptools
https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html

Install it in the python environment in which scrapyd runs
eg pip install git+file:///home/jerome/proprietary-scrapyd-plugins/

Define the path in your scrapyd configuration.

[scrapyd]
launcher = proprietary_scrapyd_plugins.launcher.Launcher

This seems to be common question.
Consider contributing a tutorial to the mailing list or a wiki.
