JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable

[budiantoip]

logparser reported an error in my docker container:

FYI, my container uses the alpine image.

Can you update the settings.py or run logparser with “-v” to print more info?

logparser/logparser/settings.py

Lines 79 to 80 in ed7948b

	# The default is False, set it to True to set the logging level from INFO to DEBUG
	VERBOSE = False

When I run the logparser with the "-v" option inside the container, I only got this output:

However, I got the JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable message by running a command to filter the container logs, something like this:

docker logs -f my-scrapper 2>&1 | grep "JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable"

And, the output would be like this:

TypeError: Object of type JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable
TypeError: Object of type JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable
TypeError: Object of type JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable
TypeError: Object of type JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable
TypeError: Object of type JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable

I believe that the JSONDecodeError is not JSON serializable error message was triggered by scrapydweb. Hopefully, the above complete logparser output can give you a hint. But, let me know if you need an additional information.
