selenium script written in _init_ function not executing - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to integrate selenium with scrapy to render javascript from a website. I have put the selenium automation code in a constructor, it performs a button click, and then the parse function scrapes the data from the page. But follwing errors are appearing in the terminal window.
code :
import scrapy
from scrapy.selector import Selector
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from shutil import which
class test_2(scrapy.Spider):
name='test_2'
#allowed_domains=[]
start_urls=[
'https://www.jackjones.in/st-search?q=shoes'
]
def _init_(self):
print("test-1")
chrome_options=Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
driver=webdriver.Chrome("C:/chromedriver")
driver.set_window(1920,1080)
driver.get("https://www.jackjones.in/st-search?q=shoes")
tab=driver.find_elements_by_class_name("st-single-product")
tab[4].click()
self.html=driver.page_source
print("test-2")
driver.close()
def parse(self, response):
print("test-3")
resp=Selector(text=self.html)
yield{
'title':resp.xpath("//h1/text()").get()
}
It appears that compiler does not execute the init function before going to parse function, because neither of the print statements are getting executed but the print statement in parse function is present in the output.
How to fix this?

Answer 1

It's __init__, not _init_ (note the double underscores).
Secondly, there is no h1 on the page. Try this instead:
yield {
'title':resp.xpath("//title/text()").get()
}
