Requested port is not assigned after 5.0.0 update, even though its available

[mikemykhaylov]

Hello,

I have an issue. The code is:

./index.js

const getPort = require('get-port');
const {spawn} = require('child_process');
const processExists = require('process-exists');
const delay = require('delay')
const fkill = require('fkill');

async function test() {
  const port = await getPort();
  console.log(port);
  const {pid} = spawn('node', ['fixture.js', port]);
  console.log(`Process exists with PID: ${pid}: ${await processExists(pid)}`);
  await fkill(pid);
  await delay(100);
  console.log(`Process exists with PID: ${pid}: ${await processExists(pid)}`);
	if(!await processExists(pid)) {
    const samePort = await getPort({port});
    console.log(samePort);
  } else {
    console.log('Process not killed');
  }
}

test();

./fixture.js

'use strict';
const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((request, response) => {
	response.end();
});

server.listen(process.argv.slice(2)[0]);

With version 4.2.0 the output is as expected

60328
Process exists with PID: 15767: true
Process exists with PID: 15767: false
60328

With ^5.0.0, however, the second time I'm requesting the port, it comes out 1 more than before:

60343
Process exists with PID: 15945: true
Process exists with PID: 15945: false
60344

Has anyone here encountered this issue or knows any way to solve it?

The package seems to be abandoned, closing the issue. Use portfinder for similar functionality

Not abandoned, just lack of time on my part.
