Local Selenium Pool @ Windows #1

Description

@teokino

Hello,

I have tried to use Local Selenium Pool (LSP in short) on a Windows PC. It didn't work because of an issue related to the multiprocessing package. In fact LSP being developed under OSX uses the fork method to start a new process. Instead on Windows, the starting of a process in demanded to spawn. (https://github.com/testlabauto/local_selenium_pool)
I tried my selenium code and even the test_pool file. On Windows the results are the same and I got a crash in the body "function". Instead on a OSX machine, everything works fine.

So I have two simple question:

  1. Is there a way to change the starting method of a process from fork to spawn?
  2. In the case of running under OSX, is it mandatory to use the headless chromedriver? When I tried with a non headless, the chromedriver works but it starts only a thread instead of multiple.

I am grateful for your help.
