Description

Multiple mock servers get to use the same port, which breaks our tests.

We would need to fix the bug in wiremock https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/wiremock-rs/issues/156. A fix was already proposed in the issue.

A temporary workaround is to leak MockServers so that they don't get dropped and recycled by wiremock's deadpool. This was made in commit https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/pull/5734/commits/0a4f2ef89138b40be98f7d238c0e08236b8df57e. This commit needs to be reverted once this issue is fixed.

Research direction
Investigate the upstream issue in wiremock rs (https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/wiremock rs/issues/156) where a fix was proposed. The temporary workaround is in commit 0a4f2ef89138b40be98f7d238c0e08236b8df57e and needs to be reverted once the upstream fix is applied. Check if the upstream fix is merged and how to apply it to this repository.
