Problem with chromedriver losing callback connexion when opening dev tools

There is a bug with the current (2.32) version of chomedriver. If we open the console of the selenium-driven browser, we lose promises callbacks created by webdriverio (for example with executeAsync) and the promise is resolved with an error.

This breaks some functionalities we develop, such as the client notifying the server that it is finished (currently in !41 (merged)).

This is not a blocking bug as it does not appear on production, but it can make the development more difficult.
