EngineConnector.init(opts) {
    portOverride := opts

    if portOverride {
        @tryToConnect
        @initEngine
    } else {
        @createServerWatcher
    }
}

createServerWatcher {
    wsRoot := this

    port = getPortFilePath(wsRoot)

    while !@initialized {
        @connectAndInit
    }
}


connectAndInit {
    ...
    maybeEngine = @_connect
    if (maybeEngine)
        @initEngine
}

    port, engine := opts

    engine.sync
    @port = port
    @initialized = true
