I'm using the default spider.yaml from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-News/wraith/master/templates/configs/spider.yaml

I've tried running it with wraith installed locally on my mac, and also via the wraith docker image. Both fail, with different error messages.

On my mac locally:

              I've tried running it with wraith installed locally on my mac, and also via the wraith docker image. Both fail, with different error messages.

                      I'm using the default spider.yaml from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-News/wraith/master/templates/configs/spider.yaml
                      I've tried running it with wraith installed locally on my mac, and also via the wraith docker image. Both fail, with different error messages.
                      On my mac locally:
                      $ wraith capture spider.yaml

                              I'm using the default spider.yaml from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BBC-News/wraith/master/templates/configs/spider.yaml
                              I've tried running it with wraith installed locally on my mac, and also via the wraith docker image. Both fail, with different error messages.
                              On my mac locally:
                              $ wraith capture spider.yaml
