Problem
When using the server:start command in several apps, you must provide a free port number to avoid errors like this one:
$ ./bin/console server:start
[OK] Web server listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000
(change to other app in other directory)
$ ./bin/console server:start
[ERROR] A process is already listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000
$ ./bin/console server:start 127.0.0.1:8001
[ERROR] A process is already listening on http://127.0.0.1:8001
$ ./bin/console server:start 127.0.0.1:8002
[ERROR] A process is already listening on http://127.0.0.1:8002
fffffuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!Solution
If it's technically possible, I'd like the server:start command to look for a free port automatically. Starting from 8000, check the following N ports and pick the first one available.
Same example as before:
$ ./bin/console server:start
[OK] Web server listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000
(change to other app in other directory)
$ ./bin/console server:start
[OK] Web server listening on http://127.0.0.1:8024Depending on how fast/slow is this process, we could check 10, 100 or 1,000 ports before showing the error message.
