1750630 - marionette client should read MarionetteActivePort file if marionette.port is set to 0

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Marionette Client and Harness, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2] (away 07/21 - 08/08)]

If the port of Marionette is set to 0 for marionette.port the socket server will make use of a random free system port. And since bug 1735162 is fixed we write that port to %profile/MarionetteActivePort%.

In the case when the requested port is 0 the Marionette client should check the given file for the currently used port and connect to it.

I've attached the work in progress patches which aren't ready yet. While changing the Marionette client isn't that hard, the harness is causing trouble. I hope to find more time the next days to get them shaped up.
