dear Dan,
Yes, i just read the documentation...Previously i was using
it with RSelenium package and never got to know that the argument random
defaulted to FALSE. I was just using it blindly...only now I got to know that
you must set random = TRUE to get different values across invocations...
Thanks anyways...
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

I haven't used that function before, and I don't know what you
previously experienced, but if you set the parameter random=TRUE you
will get a different port on each invocation
free_port(random=TRUE)
Hope this is helpful,
Dan
