can I disable noble getPorts if port is supplied?

running esp32 wroom with

#!/bin/bash
espruino \
  -v   \
  --port /dev/ttyUSB0 \
  -b 115200 \
  --board boards/ESP32.json \
  $1

where $1 is the code file I am uploading.

I get this in terminal output but it still connects so maybe the Noble:getPorts is not required if I explicitly supply a port. If so can I disable it so it doesn't have to wait for 10 sec timeout EVERY time I upload code.

I assume this is some auto port finder that isn't working for me.

Noble: getPorts - not initialised
Noble: Didn't initialise in 10 seconds, disabling.
