Cannot override appium:wdaLocalPort

[Yoodahun]

Describe the bug

I’m having trouble overriding the appium:wdaLocalPort

I’m running parallel tests, and sometimes I found that some iOS devices freeze for a moment and then restart WDA. I think It looks like a deadlock issue happens depending on the timing of the wdaLocalPort assignment dynamically during parallel runs.

So, I tried setting the wdaLocalPort manually (appium:wdaLocalPort) to check this, but it didn’t work. Could you please check this?

@Yoodahun None of these are configurable. WDA port is assigned for a device at the start. I don't think your issue has anything to do with ports.

@saikrishna321
I just wanted to try overriding wdaLocalPort and mjpegServerPort to figure out my issue. but it didn't work out, so I opened an issue about it.

I've seen similar questions #1484

Is it impossible to override them?

[saikrishna321]

@Yoodahun We need to change the port allocation to pick a range of ports. If that is going to work.
