Wrangler@3 -- wrangler dev uses random port all the time | Cloudflare Developers | Page 1

Hello everyone,

before upgrading to wrangler@3 (and now using the fully local development mode) the port was normally on 8787. Now each start of the environment seems to have a random port (at the time of trying its 64278). As the Port is not always the same and a new restart creates a new port, it is a pain to update the development frontend env or my api testing client (insomnia) to always be at the correct port.

Is this a bug on macOS or is there a way to force the port to be at 8787 ?

Thanks in advance,
David

IIRC, that happens if the old port isn’t available. Maybe some process is still stuck, hogging port 8787?

you were right:

COMMAND   PID        USER   FD   TYPE            DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
workerd 12374 daviddodlek    9u  IPv4 0x2e16f19f0732d65      0t0  TCP *:msgsrvr (LISTEN)

#

let me kill the process and see if the port is back to 8787

#

yep. 8787 is back. sometimes vscode is a pain as some terminal states are kept, eventhough I exited vscode completely. thanks for the info and fast resolving of my problem. Cheers
