Fixes #393
This PR updates a test for
runStaticServer()
that ensures it throws an error if the user requests a port that is already in use (as opposed to finding an unsued port, which is what happens if the user doesn't have a port preference).To test this, we previously found an unsafe and used port, but in certain environments all of the unsafe ports are available (e.g. in freebsd jail). Rather than using the unsafe ports list, this test now starts up a static server and then tries to start a second static server using the same port.
Does this change warrant a NEWS bullet?
