Django Dynamic Scraper: Celery Tasks not executed in Scrapyd

[benjaminelkrieff]

I started using the django dynamic scraper for my personal project.

I created my scrapers as I should and everything works when I run scrapy crawl in a terminal Now I want to use django celery to schedule scraping. I followed everything in the tutorial (created a periodic task, ran celeryd, ran scrapyd, deployed the scrapy project, changed the scraper status to ACTIVE in the UI)

The very first time it runs, I can see that a process is spawned in the scrapyd server. It runs once, and never run again. Even when I define a new periodic task.

Celery keeps sending tasks, but all I see in the scrapyd is the following log: 2020-11-19T12:18:36+0200 [twisted.python.log#info] "127.0.0.1" - - [19/Nov/2020:10:18:36 +0000] "GET /listjobs.json?project=default HTTP/1.1" 200 93 "-" "Python-urllib/2.7"

I tried to deactivate dynamic scheduling as explained in the documentation but it still does not work. My tasks are spawned only once and I can't work that way.

If someone has already ran into this issue, I would highly appreciate the help.
