Pick random ports on tests about js-ipfs HOT 6 CLOSED

go-ipfs doesn't use port 0 for the Gateway, which is where that is failing.

{
  "API": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001",
  "Gateway": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8080",
  "Swarm": [
    "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001",
    "/ip6/::/tcp/4001"
  ]
}

It is strange however, because I changed the config to launch the http-api on port 9090 to avoid those kind of collisions, but it seems that you had something else running on port 9090?

It does for tests (https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/test/sharness/lib/test-lib.sh#L149), and we should too. I run other software on 8080, so I run the gateway on 9090, as may many other users -- 8080 is pretty popular and 9090 is the next most "logical" choice. ;)

Got it, could you submit a PR for that?

This isn't on my short term list, so let's open it up as Help Wanted until it gets picked up.
