speedtest.net workflow

[paulelms]

Measure internet speed with speedtest.net service

 

Usage:

• speedserv 10 – show 10 nearest servers, press enter to test speed
• speedtest – test speed with nearest server
• speedtest 232 – test speed with server id 232

Results displayed in notification.

Server list is cached and periodically updated automatically.

Speedtest-cli included.

 

Download on packal

Update log

• 24.03.2014 – fixed bug with cache
• 25.03.2014 – changed cache from 5 days to 10 min

Great! Finally a SpeedTest workflow for Alfred 2, thanks!

 

SpeedTest works perfectly, but nothing happens with SpeedTest Servers? No network traffic at all.

Currently it works.

[paulelms]

Update: changed cache lifetime from 5 days to 10 min

[Davide]

Still the same issue. If I type speedserv 0, nothing happens, if I type speedserv 10, Alfred jumps after 2 seconds to the fallback search.

Please, try to debug workflow: http://take.ms/6WxKG

Then try to use workflow as usual and post here errors from this window: http://take.ms/GNS2J

 

Sorry for my bad english.

[Don Dahl]

Nice workflow. Could you perhaps edit the notification to DL: xxx UL: xxx instead of Download: xxx Upload: xxx since I can only see the result of download cos of my kickass connection Too little room in the notification for full text

Waited some minutes, nothing happens...

Same for me

[paulelms]

Great advice, thx. Fixed.

Before that, I used notification center for full text =)

Can you execute this in Terminal app:

curl -o speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py
chmod +x speedtest-cli
./speedtest-cli --list

… and show me output.

 

After all you can remove this script with 

rm ./speedtest-cli

Thx.

rm ./speedtest-cli

Thx.

 

After entering this I got the full list in Terminal...

[paulelms]

Sorry, I don’t know how to diagnose this. 

Looks like speedtest-cli command line app is working for you. I don’t know why it breaks in your alfred.

[Davide]

Well, it looks like in Terminal everything is working but not in Alfred. Tried in on two machines, both OS 10.9.2. Doesn't matter, I deleted speedserv in the workflow. Speedtest works fine.

[Driverseat]

Thank you

 

To whom it may concern:

Replace the speedtest-cli.py file with this one, and don't forget rename the downloaded file to the original name, a `-` instead of `_`.

it's not working again...empty output even with the latest speedtest_cli.py

I create a SpeedTest workflow with speedtest-cli, maybe some one like it.

I'm on Alfred 2.8.6. I'm getting an "Incompatible Workflow" message.

Is the SpeedTest workflow no longer compatible with Alfred 2.x?

[paulelms]

Hello. I checked the workflow on Sierra and Alfred3, and it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
