ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

[21e06]

This PR is a fix to ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

[jml3on]

yup. got the same issue today.

[Chris-Tophski]

According to my recordings this issue started at or shortly after 2021-04-07 23:53 CEST (must be 21:53 UTC). It seems there is an empty string in server_config['ignoreids'] in the get_config function and a cast to int after splitting it fails.

Hello,

I was also coming up with a solution:

        ignore_servers = list(
            map(int, [server_no for server_no in server_config['ignoreids'].split(',') if server_no])
        )

But, what was changed? I mean why this error appears only now?

[lafdez]

Hello,

It seems that something has changed in the speednet side. I do not know what value had ignoreids before but now it is an empty string.

I had changed the code to check if server_config['ignoreids'] was empty before doing the mapping, but I like it more the solution from @negulescus

Is this package still maintained? Last commit was in 2019.

The solution from @negulescus fixed my problem.
Change:
map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
V
map(int, [server_no for server_no in server_config['ignoreids'].split(',') if server_no])

I went for the pythonic slash and burn:

        try:
            ignore_servers = list(map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(',')))
        except:
            ignore_servers = []

This edit worked for me 👍

Okay. But where do you put this code? What is the file location and name?

Go to your teminal and run sudo find / -name speedtest.py that will give you the location of the file you need to edit.

Mine was located in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py then you need to use your favourite text editor to amend the code. I use nano so, after I made a quick backup of the file, I ran the following command sudo nano /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py I then hit 'Ctrl + W' to initiate the find function and searched for the line that contained "map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))", deleted that line and replaced with @negulescus map(int, [server_no for server_no in server_config['ignoreids'].split(',') if server_no]) Save and close and the speedtest command will now now allow the program to run.
Hope that helps

I went for something similar but targetting the specific error (replacing line 1113):

try:
    ignore_servers = list(
        map(int, server_config['ignoreids'].split(','))
    )
except ValueError:
    ignore_servers = []

This worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04.2
I edited /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speedtest.py line 1174

@paeore
Thank you very much for your detailed answer!
At the first time I thought I need to insert into /usr/bin/speedtest file
...cos i'm a lama.... :D THX!
I found it, replaced it and working for me too! THX THX THX
I don't understand what happened today. Because I yesterday install speedtest and it worked properly. And today has this error ...
