When working with multiple function apps locally, every function host apart from the first needs to have a different port manually set either via the command line argument
--port
or theHost.LocalHttpPort
property inlocal.settings.json
. Also, in some cases the default port might be blocked with another process (sometimes an olderfunc
itself that didn't terminate).This PR adds support to pick up the next available port (7072, 7073, ...) when none is provided. If a port is defined in either place mentioned above, this would not do anything.
One known issue is that multiple function apps run at the exact same time might end up picking the same port, causing one of them to error out. This is present even today with the static default port, primarily because the validation is done before the host starts up.
