Scrapy & Splash not returning anything from javascript page

Im currently following the official docs as well as a Youtube video to scrape javascript pages with Scrapy and their splash js rendering service.

https://splash.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvFC93vAB7U

I have Docker installed on my Mac and run it as per the official doc instructions:

docker run -p 8050:8050 -p 5023:5023 scrapinghub/splash

I then have this demo code taken from the Youtube video:

import scrapy
from scrapy_splash import SplashRequest

class Demo_js_pider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'jsdemo'

    def start_request(self):
        yield SplashRequest(
            url = 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/js',
            callback = self.parse,
        )

    def parse(self, response):
        for quote in response.css("div.quote"):
            yield {
                'text': quote.css("span.text::text").extract.first(),
                'author': quote.css("small.author::text").extract_first(),
                'tags': quote.css("div.tags > a.tag::text").extract(),
            }

this is run with 'scrapy crawl jsdemo' (I already have scrapy installed in a local virtualenv (python 3.6.4) and all the correct modules including the scrapy-splash one)

However when it runs nothing is returned apart from the below output and nor error messages:

the above is truncated, this is a link to the full output: https://pastebin.com/yQVp3n6z

I have tried this several times now. I have also tried running a basic html scraping spider from the main Scrapy tutorial and this ran just fine so Id guess the error is with Splash somewhere?

I noticed this in the output too:

DEBUG: Telnet console listening on 127.0.0.1:6023

is this correct? The docker commands runs Splash on telnet 5023, I tried changing that to 6023 and it didnt change anything. I have also tried setting TELENTCONSOLE_PORT in the settings to both 5023 and 6023 and this just throws these errors when I try to run scrapy crawl:

At this point Im not sure what else I need to change...
