The selector is:
response.css('div.dp-conteudo__esquerda span.varpb').extract_first()
First one returns the correct span normally, but the second one doesn't return anything.
The only relevant difference I can see is that the second page has a span with the varpb class appear first in a different part of the code, but it's the same as the other one I wanted. In line 581 of second page's source code:
...<a class="--link" href="/putear"><span class="varpt">putear</span><span class="varpb">putear</span></a><span class="mx-2" style="color:#888888;">]</span></item> ou...Even if it didn't get the "correct" span, shouldn't it get this one? Am I missing something?
To make this clear: I don't care about making it work (by other means;changing the selector), I want to understand why it doesn't, please.
If any portuguese-speaking person wonders why I was scraping these words, it was for a game of Scrabble.
