Whatever how many --server options I passed, speedtest-go always behaviors like without --server options.

speedtest-go version: 1.1.2

Interesting when I pass something like speedtest-go --server helloworld, I can got an error error: strconv.ParseFloat: parsing "helloworld": invalid syntax, try --help.
This means the arguments parser (alecthomas/kingpin) is working, I guess there must be something wrong in the project itself.

Hi @hronro , thank you for using speedtest-go!

In my environment, --server option works well.

$ speedtest --version

If server_id is not valid, this behaviors like without --server options.

Please confirm that your server_id is in the list which could be fetched by $ speedtest --list

@showwin Thank you for your reply. Actually I didn't use the server IDs from speedtest --list, since speedtest --list only give me limited numbers of servers. I got server IDs by checking the browser devtools when searching servers in speedtest.net. I thought those IDs was valid for speedtest-go.

hronro commented

Using IDs from speedtest-go --list works, but is there a way to use IDs not in that list?

I got server IDs by checking the browser devtools when searching servers in speedtest.net.

Could you tell me how did you get server IDs by browser devtools?
This tool gets server IDs from https://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php. Though if there is another way to get them, I'll consider to adopt it 👍

In my opinion, server IDs near your location could get by using --list option. It may be rare case to speedtest to distant server.

@showwin
The searching API is GET https://www.speedtest.net/api/js/servers?engine=js&search={keyword}&https_functional=true&limit=100, but I'm not sure if it is a public API.

showwin commented

@hronro Sorry for late responce.
Thank you for your information! I think such a usage is not so common, therefore I would not implement this tool to adopt to any server ID.
Though if you need, I welcome your Pull-Request.
