Hi,

    var SpecReporter = require('jasmine-spec-reporter').SpecReporter;
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new SpecReporter({displayStacktrace: 'all', displayPending: true}));
}

}

• A relevant example test
• Got an issue as: "Chrome not reachable"
• Steps to reproduce the bug
• https://web.whatsapp.com/

Im tryiong to access web.whatsapp.com by using set profile i.e. --user-data-dir=C:\WA-chromeProfile' but I can access this whatsapp url without using this profile.

Any idea about this issue? Is it something with Whatsapp who's not supporting PROFILES now?

'--user-data-dir=C:\WA-chromeProfile' => '--user-data-dir=C:\\WA-chromeProfile'

BTW, I don't think that is protractor's bug.
