From e4cfcd3f6152a31918398110b49ba9881fc11f57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Miguel=20=C3=81ngel?= Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 00:44:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(cli): serialize port-availability probes (#309) (#310) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes #309. Full credit to @gigadeniga for the diagnosis — the root cause + proposed fix in that issue are exactly what landed here. ## The bug \`npx hyperframes preview\` failed deterministically on Crostini (ChromeOS Linux) with \`Ports 3002–3101 are all in use\`, even when nothing was actually listening on any of them. ## Why \`testPortOnAllHosts\` ran four probes in parallel: \`\`\`ts const hosts = ["127.0.0.1", "0.0.0.0", "::1", "::"]; const results = await Promise.all(hosts.map((h) => isPortAvailableOnHost(port, h))); \`\`\` Each probe binds a socket and then calls \`server.close()\`. Close is async — the socket stays open until its callback fires on the next event-loop tick. While it's open, the wildcard binds (\`0.0.0.0\`, \`::\`) that include the loopback address race the still-open loopback socket and return \`EADDRINUSE\` spuriously. On Crostini this happens 100% of the time; other Linux configs hit it intermittently; macOS is less predictable. Net effect: every port in the 100-port scan range appears busy and the preview refuses to start. Reproduces on any Linux box with the standalone snippet from the issue: \`\`\` 127.0.0.1: OK 0.0.0.0: EADDRINUSE ← false positive ::1: OK ::: EADDRINUSE ← false positive \`\`\` ## Fix Serialize the probes. Each socket is fully closed before the next opens, eliminating the race window entirely. \`\`\`ts for (const host of hosts) { const available = await isPortAvailableOnHost(port, host); if (!available) return false; } return true; \`\`\` Kept the four-host check rather than collapsing to just \`0.0.0.0\` + \`::\` — the multi-host coverage is load-bearing for the devbox / SSH-forwarding case where a port is free on loopback but held on the wildcard. Sequentializing is the smaller, less-behaviourally-affecting fix. ## Regression tests \`packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts\` — three cases binding real sockets, no mocks: - **Returns true for a genuinely free port** — directly reproduces the Crostini bug; would fail on Linux against the parallel implementation. - **Returns false when the port is occupied on \`0.0.0.0\`** — confirms the multi-host check still catches the devbox scenario. - **Releases each probe socket before the next run** — two back-to-back calls for the same free port both return true, pinning the sequential contract against future refactors that might try to reparallelize for perf. ## Test plan - [x] \`bunx vitest run packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts\` — 3/3 pass - [x] Full CLI suite — 109/109 pass - [x] \`tsc --noEmit\` clean ## Notes - Independent of any version bump; ship whenever. - Probing 4 hosts serially adds at most ~tens of milliseconds per port on the scan (binds are very fast on loopback). The worst-case cost shows up when the first port in the range is free — previously 1 parallel round-trip, now 4 sequential — and it's imperceptible (\`preview\` bind is a one-time startup cost, not a hot path). --- packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts | 95 +++++++++++++++++++++++ packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.ts | 36 +++++++-- 2 files changed, 124 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts diff --git a/packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts b/packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b48d0f7a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/cli/src/server/portUtils.test.ts @@ -0,0 +1,95 @@ +import { afterEach, describe, expect, it, vi } from "vitest"; +import { createServer, type Server } from "node:net"; +import { PORT_PROBE_HOSTS, testPortOnAllHosts } from "./portUtils.js"; + +// High-ephemeral range with runway so parallel test shards don't collide. +const BASE = 45_000; + +const openServers: Server[] = []; + +function allocFreePort(): number { + return BASE + Math.floor(Math.random() * 1_000); +} + +afterEach(async () => { + await Promise.all( + openServers.splice(0).map( + (s) => + new Promise((resolve) => { + s.close(() => resolve()); + }), + ), + ); + vi.restoreAllMocks(); +}); + +describe("testPortOnAllHosts — real-socket behaviour (OS-dependent)", () => { + // These exercise the real network stack.
