JSONDecodeError when executing script

[DrPhilippBillion]

Dear Aden,

thanks for your great work! This script could be really usefull, as I am always having trouble with the connection at home, so monitoring would be great.

When I execute the script, I have the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 98, in
main()
File "main.py", line 84, in main
data = format_for_influx(speedtest.stdout)
File "main.py", line 33, in format_for_influx
data = json.loads(cliout)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/init.py", line 348, in loads
return _default_decoder.decode(s)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 337, in decode
obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/json/decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode
raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

As I am not very deep in python, I cant really solve the problem. Would be great to get your support here!

Hi there, glad to be of help.

First off could you post the output of speedtest -V?

Dear Aden,

thanks a lot for your quick reply. I have installed the wrong version of the speedtest.cli. If you follow the installation instructions on the speedtest-site, it is working correctly. Thanks a lot for that great tool, as I am using iobroker, influx and grafana, it perfectly integrates into the monitoring environment of my house...

Kind greetings,

Philipp
