Can run multiple sessions of chromedriver

[garethmcc]

Hi there,

I need to be able to use chromedriver to run two different sessions in parallel using the same chrome backend. Currently I seem to be getting a shared session between two parallel runs. Is there anyway to prevent that, such as passing some kind of profile name to seperate the two users as if they were different?

I start chromedriver with start() at the moment:

chromedriver.start([
      '--url-base=/wd/hub',
      '--port 9515'
    ])

Thanks in advance

Not yet, the code to start Chromedriver is really simple, see:

node-chromedriver/lib/chromedriver.js

Lines 5 to 11 in 1e97332

	exports.start = function(args) {
	var cp = require('child_process').spawn(exports.path, args);
	cp.stdout.pipe(process.stdout);
	cp.stderr.pipe(process.stderr);
	exports.defaultInstance = cp;
	return cp;
	};

We can't change start method signature without breaking existing users, but we could add another method. How about a startNew method?
