AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items' in a scrapy

Question

I was doing a scrapy with python3.5 then this happened:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "F:/PyCharm/xiaozhou/main.py", line 6, in <module>
    cmdline.execute("scrapy crawl nvospider".split())

    for name, value in six.iteritems(values): 

File "F:\Python3.5\lib\site-packages\six.py", line 581, in iteritems
    return iter(d.items(**kw))

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'

Following is my code: This is spider:

from scrapy.spiders import CrawlSpider
from scrapy.selector import Selector
from xiaozhou.items import NovelspiderItem

class novSpider(CrawlSpider):
    name = "nvospider"
    redis_key = 'nvospider:start_urls'
    start_urls = ['http://www.daomubiji.com/']

def parse(self,response):
    selector = Selector(response)
    table = selector.xpath('//table')
    for each in table:
        bookname = each.xpath('tr/td[@colspam="3"]/center/h2/text()').extract()[0]
        content = each.xpath('tr/td/a/text()').extract()
        url = each.xpath('tr/td/a/@herf').extract()

        for i in range(len(url)):
            item = NovelspiderItem()
            item['bookname'] = bookname
            item['chapterURL'] = url[i]
            try:
                item['bookTitle'] = content[i].split(' ')[0]
                item['chapterNum'] = content[i].split(' ')[1]
            except Exception.e:
                 continue
            try:
                item['chapterName'] = content[i].split(' ')[2]
            except Exception.e:
                item['chapterName'] = content[i].split(' ')[1][-3:]
            yield item

Pipelines:

class XiaozhouPipeline(object):
    def __init__(self):
        connection = pymongo.MongoClient(
            settings['MONGODB_HOST'],
            settings['MONGODB_PORT']
        )
        db = connection[settings['MONGO_DBNAME']]
        self.collection = db[settings['MONGODB_COLLECTION']]
    def process_item(self,item,spider):
        self.collection.insert(dict(item))
        return item

items: from scrapy import Field, Item

class NovelspiderItem(Item):
    bookName = Field()
    bookTitle = Field()
    chapterNum = Field()
    chapterName = Field()
    chapterURL = Field()

settings:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
BOT_NAME = 'xiaozhou'

SPIDER_MODULES = ['xiaozhou.spiders']
NEWSPIDER_MODULE = 'xiaozhou.spiders'

ITEM_PIPELINES = ['xiaozhou.pipelines.XiaozhouPipeline']
USER_AGENT = ''
COOKIES_ENABLED = True
MONGODB_SERVER = "localhost"
MONGODB_PORT = 27017
MONGODB_DB = "dbxiaozhou"
MONGODB_COLLECTION = "xiaozhou"

Answer 1

According to the docs ITEM_PIPELINES setting should be dict, and you got list instead ITEM_PIPELINES = ['xiaozhou.pipelines.XiaozhouPipeline']
