ERROR: Port 8888 is already in use

I ran

/usr/local/bin/mongod -f /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf &
        cd /Users/flo/projects/eos/build; make test

with ctest --output-on-failure and get the following failures:

93% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 41

Label Time Summary:

	 38 - restart-scenarios-test-none (Failed)
	 41 - nodeos_voting_lr_test (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
make: *** [test] Error 8

I checked if anything is listening on port 8888 by running sudo lsof -i :8888 but the result is empty.

So I re-ran the tests and executed sudo lsof -i :8888 during test 33 and got the following output:

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
nodeos  46466  flo   21u  IPv4 0x25cc7f5778ad9dad      0t0  TCP localhost:ddi-tcp-1 (LISTEN)

So it seems like the port is available and the error lies somewhere else.

Help would be appreciated :).

PLEASE HELP.... It Happens with multiple Test Scenarios

[jgiszczak]

This is caused by attempting to run the tests while something is already occupying the port nodeos wants to use. Very likely there is already a nodeos running. You must shut it down before the tests can be run.
