Page modification request: speedtest

[sohang3112]

In the speedtest page, all commands are not working (except for the first one with no CLI arguments: speedtest). I'm running the speedtest-cli 2.1.3 (it's the latest version) - it's possible these CLI arguments worked in an earlier version.

All these commands are not working (in each case error unrecognized arguments is shown):

• speedtest --unit=auto-decimal-bits|auto-decimal-bytes|auto-binary-bits|auto-binary-bytes
• speedtest --format=human-readable|csv|tsv|json|jsonl|json-pretty
• speedtest --precision=precision
• speedtest --progress=yes|no
• speedtest --servers
• speedtest --server-id=server_id

Available options are listed in speedtest's github repository: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli - there also the above mentioned CLI arguments are not mentioned. Note that a flag similar to last one listed (-server-id) exists, so it might have been renamed at some point: --server SERVER.

Hi. We have Issues templates. Please use them.

The speedtest page documents a different program (https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli). The page for https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli is speedtest-cli, and there's already a note about this in both pages.

@acuteenvy You're right that I confused speedtest-cli and speedtest (it was aliased on my system). But these commands are not working even in the official speedtest program (installed with official Fedora instructions at https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli):

$ speedtest --servers
Unknown option --servers
$ speedtest --unit=auto-decimal-bytes
Unknown option --unit=auto-decimal-bytes
$ speedtest --format=json
Unknown option --format=json
$ speedtest --progress=no
Unknown option --progress=no

These examples work on my system. Are you sure you've installed the official speedtest? What is the output of speedtest --version?

$ speedtest --version
Speedtest by Ookla 1.2.0.84 (ea6b6773cf) Linux/x86_64-linux-musl 6.11.7-arch1-1 x86_64

I think that is because sudo yum install speedtest by default installs the package from the default fedora repo, which is a different tool (GUI only). At least that is what it has done on my system. https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/speedtest/speedtest/ https://github.com/Ketok4321/speedtest

Update: Someone added a comment on packages.fedoraproject.org about the conflict 9 hours ago https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2257536

@spageektti Not sure if that happened on my system or not - but it's definitely NOT gui only, because the speedtest command works in terminal. Regardless, is there an alternative install procedure on Fedora for speedtest to ensure the "official" CLI is installed?
