Description
Fixed flaky port cucumber number assignments whereby under certain conditions the same port number were re-used resulting in test failures. This fix serializes ports returned by
const getFreePort = function ()
with a much higher probability for the ports to be unique. In the event that base node creation still fails (e.g. due to port conflicts), the error is catched and the process is retried.A recent example of this in
run-integration-tests
for testTesting scenario: "When a new node joins the network, it receives all peers"
is shown below where port45657
was re-used resulting in test failure:Motivation and Context
Some cucumber tests were flaky due to duplicate port assignments.
