driver.get does not work in separate turn of event loop

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 8606

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install selenium-webdriver
2. run the below script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the driver to be able to do a get in a separate turn of the event loop.
Instead it just hangs.

Selenium version:
OS: OS X 10.10.2
Browser: Chrome
Browser version: 41.0.2272.89


Please provide any additional information below. A sample reduced test
case, or a public URL that demonstrates the problem will intrigue our merry
band of Open Source developers far more than nothing at all: they'll be far
more likely to look at your problem if you make it easy for them!


var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
  .forBrowser('chrome')
  .build();

setTimeout(function  () {
  driver.get('https://www.google.com');
});

This boils down to a race condition in the control flow. By scheduling the get() in
a separate turn, it's likely being captured as a sub-command of creating the new session
(implicit command from build()).
