An experimental flake8 plugin to find possibly problematic usage of inline requests in Scrapy spiders.
This plugin will raise a Flake8 issue when it finds inline requests such as:
resp = yield Request(url)
Instead of:
resp = yield Request(url, meta={'handle_httpstatus_all': True})
Because an inline request without meta={'handle_httpstatus_all': True} that
gets a 404 response (for example) will silently fail and the current callback
will stop.
With that meta param, you'll get the 404 (or whatever) response back and you can decide what to do with that response.
This is a highly experimental plugin and it may miss many cases.
