Allow CLI options to override conf.js parameters

[joshmgrant]

It appears that arguments used when running protractor from the command line do not override values in the conf.js file. For example, if I run the command

protractor --baseUrl='http://local.app' conf.js

with the conf.js file

module.export = {
    // some other params

     capabilities: {
        'browserName': (process.env.TEST_BROWSER_NAME || 'chrome'),
        'version': (process.env.TEST_BROWSER_VERSION || 'ANY')
    },

    baseUrl: 'http://test.app'
}

tests will execute using the baseUrl = 'http://test.app' in the conf.js instead of 'http://local.app'.
It could be that this is a specific issue to my setup, but it'd be helpful to allow the CLI to override parameters as needed in the conf.js file.

This is working fine for me using 2.1.0 e.g. ne protractor --baseUrl http://angularjs.org protractor.conf.js. It seems like it's something external? Can you verify with a fresh setup?

Confirmed that I can overwrite parts of the config file via command line. Not sure what's wrong with your setup.

Thanks for this. I might've not had the proper setup, or the issue resolved itself.
