I am trying to run a robot test with python in an already opened Chrome browser. Below is the code snippet where am setting debuggerAddress to chromeOption.

```python
             ${service_args}= Create List --log-path=${CHROMEDRIVER_LOG} --verbose
             ${chromeOptions}= Evaluate sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() sys,selenium.webdriver
             ${chromeCapabilities}= Call Method ${chromeOptions} to_capabilities
             Set To Dictionary ${chromeCapabilities["goog:chromeOptions"]} debuggerAddress 127.0.0.1:53851
             Create WebDriver ${browser} desired_capabilities=${chromeCapabilities} executable_path=${CHROMEDRIVER_PATH} service_args=${service_args}
             go to ${test_url}

```

Chrome browser is been launched in remote-debugger mode from cmd with specific port assigned  
`chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=92228 --user-data-dir="C:\Test\ChromeFilesLog"`

Despite giving an IP and port , every time i try to run the test, a new chrome browser with different port (not the one given in debuggerAddress) is launched.
