Trying to run ember test --serve and ember test simultaneously results in "EADDRINUSE" error

[nickiaconis]

Running either (or both) with --port #### (even if it is the same number for both) results in success, but prints a warning:

The option '--port' is not registered with the test command. Run ember test --help for a list of supported options.

can you share versions of:

• ember
• npm
• node
• os

[nickiaconis]

Of course.

• ember(-cli): 1.13.8
• node: 0.12.6
• npm: 2.13.4
• os: darwin x64 (OSX Yosemite)

(By the way, I think it's awesome that ember -v gives all of these in one shot.) 👍

@nickiaconis We no longer use --port to set the port number when running ember test --server. It was changed to --test-port.

ember test --server --test-port=12345 will work fine

Change was in #3239

[nickiaconis]

@patocallaghan Thanks for that tip. I'm still confused why ember test needs to bind a port in the first place, since it's only running in phantom.

I'm also confused as to why running ember test --port 1234 and ember test --serve --port 1234 simultaneously works, but running ember test and ember test --serve simultaneously does not.

@nickiaconis ember test uses testem under the hood and that would still need to use a port. If you add Chrome to your list of tested browsers you'll see it opens up with http://localhost:7357.
