Get connected Wi-Fi network signal strength with nmcli

I'm able to get the signal strength of all Wi-Fi networks with the following command:



$ nmcli -t -f SIGNAL device wifi list

77

67

60

59

55

45

44

39

39

37

35

35

29

27

27

24

20

20

17

14

12

10

10


I would like to reduce this list only to the current Wi-Fi on which I'm connected. I've been through the man page but can't find the necessary flag.



One solution would be to use sed or awk, but I would like to avoid piping.



Should I use nmcli device wifi instead of parsing directly for the SIGNAL column?

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

How to ignore python UserWarning in pytest?

Image
up vote 1 down vote favorite I am using openpyxl for parsing .xlsm files, and pytest for testing. When I open a file, I get the: OpenPyxl -> UserWarning: Data Validation extension is not supported and will be removed That is not really a problem bcs. program works and I can't change the .xlsm file to fix that. But... When I run pytest with something like: def test_wrong_file_format(): assert check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) == True I will get the warning i mentioned altought check_excel(open_excel('file.xlsm')) returns True and the test should suceed... Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
