AttributeError: 'SelectorList' object has no attribute 'replace'












1














I'm trying to run a Scrapy spider and dump it all into a json file. Here's my code:



import scrapy
import re


class MissleItem(scrapy.Item):

missle_name = scrapy.Field()
missle_type = scrapy.Field()
missle_origin = scrapy.Field()
missle_range = scrapy.Field()
missle_comments = scrapy.Field()



class missleSpider(scrapy.Spider):

name = 'missle_list'
allowed_domains = ['en.wikipedia.org']
start_urls = ['https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...']


def parse(self, response):
table = response.xpath('///div/table[2]/tbody')
rows = table.xpath('//tr')
row = rows[2]
row.xpath('td//text()')[0].extract()

for row in response.xpath('//
[@class="wikitable"]//tbody//tr'):

name = {
'Missle' : row.xpath('td[1]//text()').extract_first(),
'Type': row.xpath('td[2]//text()').extract_first(),
'Origin' :
row.xpath('td[3]/a//text()').extract_first(),
'Range':
row.xpath('td[4]//text()').replace(u' ', u'
').extract_first(),
'Comments' :
row.xpath('td[5]//text()').extract_first()}


yield MissleItem(missle_name=name['Missle'],
missle_type=name['Type'],
missle_origin=name['Origin'],
missle_range=name['Range'],
missle_comments=name['Comments'])


When I run the previous code, I get:
AttributeError: 'SelectorList' object has no attribute 'replace'



My question is, how can I return my Range Column without the 'nbsp;' extra output? I tried:



'Range': row.xpath('td[4]//text()').strip().extract_first()


But then I got a:



AttributeError: 'SelectorList' object has no attribute 'strip'


Any help would be greatly appreciated
