ipykernel can start debugpy on an occupied port

Commencez par ipykernel/debugger.py aux lignes 231-239, où le port libre est sélectionné et transmis à debugpy. Reproduisez l’échec dû à un port occupé en utilisant le contexte d’exécution de test vscode-jupyter lié, puis déterminez quel composant devrait gérer la collision. Le travail est terminé lorsque le démarrage du débogueur ne se bloque plus et n’échoue plus silencieusement lorsque le port sélectionné devient occupé.

I am troubleshooting some flaky tests for our jupyter notebook debugger in vscode. I saw an instance where we tried to start the debugger and never got a response. I see this message in the log:

I see that ipykernel picks a free port here, and sends it to debugpy https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/blob/cce9b7d736d2cdd32e8695436dbed77bc7912080/ipykernel/debugger.py#L231-L239

and in the error message, debugpy is saying that the port is not free. I know it's not really possible to do this kind of thing in an atomic way. Is it possible for ipykernel to detect this error and retry with a new port? Should debugpy have a mode where it can pick a free port and return it? Or should a client like vscode detect this error and retry?
