I am trying to run firebase cloud functions emulator in my local environment but I get a EADDRINUSE issue.
- I can successfully run firebase emulator :
✔ functions[main]: http function initialized (http://localhost:5001/firebaseapp/main).
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ✔ All emulators ready! View status and logs at http://localhost:4000 │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌───────────┬────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┐

└───────────┴────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────┘
Other reserved ports: 4400, 4500

- However, after that things don't go as expected, when I use the link provided by the emulator :
http://localhost:5001/firebaseapp/main
to make my test request :
http://localhost:5001/firebaseapp/main/test
I get the following error :

I tried to kill the port 5000 but apparently there is no active PID process so I couldn't get the PID. I also restarted my computer to force every process to shut down but this error still persist.
Any suggestion ?
EDIT : I got the same issue even when I change the listen port in my nodejs app. For e.g. when I set port 3000 I get the same error message telling that the port 3000 is already in use.
EDIT 2 : I think I have identified the cause of the issue. I have this warning message when I run the functions emulator
It seems that you are running multiple instances of the emulator suite for project firebaseapp. This may result in unexpected behavior.
I think there are two instances of my app running at the same time, causing this error. However I have no Idea about how to fix this.
