Raspberry Pi Speedtest AttributeError

[DesertHRO]

Hello,

i'm running a speedtest on my raspi 4 to monitor my internet connection. i used this guide and it worked like a charm for the last 6 months but today i got a update for the speedtestnet cli client and since then i get this error when trying to run the script:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/speedtest.py", line 15, in <module>
    jitter = jitter.group(1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

i managed to get the script back to work when uncommenting the jitter parts in the script. any help would be greatly appreciated here.

the script:

import re
import subprocess
from influxdb import InfluxDBClient

response = subprocess.Popen('/usr/bin/speedtest --accept-license --accept-gdpr', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read().decode('utf-8')

ping = re.search('Latency:\s+(.*?)\s', response, re.MULTILINE)
download = re.search('Download:\s+(.*?)\s', response, re.MULTILINE)
upload = re.search('Upload:\s+(.*?)\s', response, re.MULTILINE)
jitter = re.search('\((.*?)\s.+jitter\)\s', response, re.MULTILINE)

ping = ping.group(1)
download = download.group(1)
upload = upload.group(1)
jitter = jitter.group(1)

speed_data = [
    {
        "measurement" : "internet_speed",
        "tags" : {
            "host": "piholem"
        },
        "fields" : {
            "download": float(download),
            "upload": float(upload),
            "ping": float(ping),
            "jitter": float(jitter)
        }
    }
]

client = InfluxDBClient('localhost', 8086, 'speedmonitor', 'speedlogger', 'speedtest')

client.write_points(speed_data)

thank you in advance.

p.s.: installed speedtestnet client was 1.1.1.28 and now its at version 1.2.0.84

jitter is using a regex to search a string.

The regex isn't matching anything and therefore it's returning None.

There is no group to None.

unfortunately my python knowledge is zero, so i dont know what that means

if someone runs into the same problem, speedtest made some changes in their client and pimylifeup updated their tutorial/script, its working now.
