Speedtest not working after upgrade to 2.5.0

fireodo

@fireodo
For those who stumble on this thread:

I found myself the fault: there was another pair of speedtest and speedtest-cli (executables) left (after program removal) in the "/usr/bin" from the previous speedtest installation (2.1.1) that where conflicting with the speedtest / speedtest-cli (2.1.2) from the "/usr/local/bin".

Now everything is as it should be. Sorry for embarrassing you!

Yeah, that's one of the side effect when you install manually FreeBSD packages that use another 'file foot print' as the pfSense-FreeBSD packages, present in the pfSense package repository.

As soon as you install stuff manually with "pkg install ..." I advise you to takes Notes.

That is : install the pfSense Notes package.
And enter all the details, like the package file name, version, FreeBSD version, etc.
Add also settings, if you created them.
The Notes will get saved with your config.

Inspecting the package (they are archive files that can be inspected) show you what files are copied where.

It would be nice if they could include the speedtest CLI + widget packages in the package directory....

speedtest CLI

It is in the pfSense repository.
Remember : the pfSense repository is not the FreeBSD repository.

But " pfSense repository" doesn't automatically mean it's in the pfSense package manager, as these are packages that are (re)written express so they can use the pfSense GUI.

edit : understand also that Netgate/pfSense isn't going to 'advertise' all these packages, as installing them manually can have all kind of side effects, which has nothing to do with the core pfSense functionalities.

I guess what occamsrazor mean is that the "speedtest"-package should contain the afferent widget included in one single package ...

Hi, I've got problem with speedtest after upgrade too, unfortunately it is not connected to conflicting versions as I've checked to only have 2.1.2 version installed. It seems python do not have ssl module available and for some reason speedtest triies to use https version even without using --secure switch.
Here is a stack trace

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that.

Remember : the pfSense repository is not the FreeBSD repository.

Well as the speedtest-cli has a widget that can be installed into the pfSense GUI... seems like it would make sense to add it to the packages list in the Package Manager,

Speedtest 2.1.2 Broken

Speedtest 2.1.2 broke yesterday and stopped working, producing the error message:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''.

An updated version 2.1.3 has been posted by the author, but has not yet been picked up into the package repositories.

Since a package update doesn't work, this manual update method worked for me in the interim:

# CONFIRM VERSION
: speedtest --version

@kevinrice thank you for posting this. I could not get 3 of my boxes speedtest working until I found your post here. My speedtest bricked on all three moving over to 2.5.X. All is working as it should now. You are awesome!!!

WOW !!!
Thanks 1000 thanks
Upgrading to 2.1.3 as per your instructions worked perfectly.
THANKS. THANKS. THANKS. THANKS.

As per this page How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed, I simply ran these two commands in the GUI at Diagnostics / Command Prompt / Execute Shell Command:

pkg search speedtest

This returned the following:
py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth

so I ran this command:

pkg install -y py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3

Then from there I simply run speedtest
