Description of Changes
updated:
The original implementation here used
bindto try to discover if a port is currently in use. This isn't reliable due to platform differences - especially on windows where it's apparently acceptable to have a service running on both0.0.0.0:3000and127.0.0.1:3000. This would cause bind to return successfully when we wanted it to fail. Also: binding on an ipv6 interface when a machine doesn't have ipv6 enabled caused random errors and it was too unreliable to be useful.This new implementation uses
get_socket_infowhich returns info on all sockets in use on the system. We can then look through this list to find services which conflict with our requested port.updated 1/14:
This PR now includes a fix for flaky CLI tests. Originally we were using
find_free_portto pick a random free port, but that was causing a race condition which resulted in test flakes. This PR fixes this issue by using127.0.0.1:0as the listen addr so the kernel will automatically pick a free port for us.API and ABI breaking changes
None
Expected complexity level and risk
1 - this is a pretty isolated check, unlikely to introduce larger issues.
Testing
I tested on macos, windows and linux:
