next dev -p 3001i know i can do this
but I want to only do 3001
if 3000 is taken
now it will overwrite existing port
i have another project running on 3000

Works with bun for me as well.
Must be some issue with vite or vinxi but i am not familiar with the later

I guess its a vinxi/vite issue as zomh says.
If nothing else works you can write yourself a simple script which will do the same.

#!/bin/bash
port=3000 # Default port
command="bun dev -p $port"
while lsof -i :$port >/dev/null
do
echo "Port $port is already in use. Trying a different port..."
port=$((port + 1))
command="bun dev -p $port"
done
echo "Running command: $command"
eval $command # Execute the command
