Test Procedure
the scraper runs at the beginning of every hour. you may wait for the cron job to start and then check "/var/log/cron.log" to see if it is working. It should print "Our test works at", <datetime.now()>)". If you do not want to wait, you can test to ensure that the python script works by running the following command in the docker container.
"/usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/src/no_login.py"
Note that this is not testing if cron is running the job automatically, but rather that the scraper is functioning as expected within the docker container.
