The class that will be used for loading spiders, which must implement the
:ref:`topics-api-spiderloader`.
.. setting:: SPIDER_LOADER_WARN_ONLY
SPIDER_LOADER_WARN_ONLY
-----------------------
.. versionadded:: 1.4
Default: ``False``
By default, when scrapy tries to import spider classes from :setting:`SPIDER_MODULES`,
it will fail loudly if there is any ``ImportError`` exception.
But you can choose to silence this exception and turn it into a simple
warning by setting ``SPIDER_LOADER_WARN_ONLY = True``.
.. note::
Some :ref:`scrapy commands <topics-commands>` run with this setting to ``True``
already (i.e. they will only issue a warning and will not fail)
since they do not actually need to load spider classes to work:
:command:`scrapy runspider <runspider>`,
:command:`scrapy settings <settings>`,
:command:`scrapy startproject <startproject>`,
:command:`scrapy version <version>`.
