speedtest widget failing

[zermoumia]

I get this error when I run speedtest:

Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/speedtest", line 11, in <module>

The problem is with the speedtest-cli package - the speedtest site has recently changed something in its response, which the speedtest.py script can't handle.

See this Pull Request on the speedtest project: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/pull/769

I worked out a fairly simple way to apply a fix on Ubuntu: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/645065/38647

You can replace the script with the newly released version. Something like this should work on pfSense, if speedtest.py is in the place indicated by your error log. I suggest backing up the original script first, in case something goes wrong:

gzip -9 /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/speedtest.py &&
 curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/v2.1.3/speedtest.py > /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/speedtest.py
