ChromeDriver 80.0.3987.16 doesn't seem to start properly about webdriver.dart

Hi,

The code works for me on Mac with Chrome V80 with some minor changes. Would you mind try my modified code first before I look for a Windows machine to test it out? Thanks!

import 'dart:convert';
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:webdriver/async_io.dart';

var chromeDriverProcess;

var driver;

Future startChromeDriverProcess() async {
  print('startChromeDriverProcess: starting ChromeDriverProcess');
  chromeDriverProcess = await Process.start(
      'chromedriver', ['--port=4444', '--url-base=wd/hub', '--verbose'],
          );

  await for (String browserOut in const LineSplitter()
      .bind(utf8.decoder.bind(chromeDriverProcess.stdout))) {
    if (browserOut.contains('Starting ChromeDriver')) {
      print('startChromeDriverProcess: ChromeDriverProcess succesfully started');
      break;
    }
  }
}

Future _launchChrome() async {
  print('BrowserHandler._launchChrome: initializing ChromeDriver');

  try {
    driver = await createDriver(spec: WebDriverSpec.W3c); //this the point where the test gets stuck_
    print('BrowserHandler._launchChrome: ChromeDriver initialized');
    await driver.get('https://www.google.com');
    print('BrowserHandler._launchChrome: loaded');
  } catch (Exception) {
    print('BrowserHandler._launchChrome: ChromeDriver initialization failed');
    print(Exception.toString());
    return;
  }
}

void main() async {
  await startChromeDriverProcess();
  await _launchChrome();
}

This seems to work, thank you (I switched back to the webdriver/sync_io.dart package as well, and that one also works properly now).

Good to hear that!
