How to run a job?

[ollieglass]

I can't see how to run a job. There's two examples in the docs. In the project section:

For example, to schedule a spider run (it returns a job object):

>>> project.jobs.run('spider1', job_args={'arg1':'val1'})
<scrapinghub.client.Job at 0x106ee12e8>>

and in the spider section:

Like project instance, spider instance has jobs field to work with the spider's jobs.

To schedule a spider run:

>>> spider.jobs.run(job_args={'arg1:'val1'})
<scrapinghub.client.Job at 0x106ee12e8>>

Neither works, both throw AttributeError: 'Jobs' object has no attribute 'run'

Turns out the method is called schedule, not run. Perhaps the docs should be updated to show this

Hi @ollieglass . It looks like you are using python-scrapinghub 1.9.0 (schedule is the right method in that version). You can read the documentation for that version here:
https://github.com/scrapinghub/python-scrapinghub/tree/1.9.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scrapinghub/1.9.0

The documentation in the master branch is currently being updated for the next major release (2.0.0).

Documentation is available via Read The Docs now. Please install latest stable version from PyPI and try again @ollieglass, you were definitely using old version.

This was with scrapinghub 2.0.0.dev0

Right, that changed here after 2.0.0.dev0 was released, and you saw docs from master branch. Sorry for the inconvenience, everything should be consistent now as we released a stable version.

I'm getting the same error, I've upgraded to the latest version and it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
