Is it possible to restart the browser between specifications in integration tests?

Question

We have a Protractor / Jasmine number or qualifier for our AngularJS based project. This is ok to do:

afterAll(function(){
   browser.restart();
}

to clear things between specs?

Answer 1

There is a built-in setting - restartBrowserBetweenTests:

// If true, protractor will restart the browser between each test.
// CAUTION: This will cause your tests to slow down drastically.
restartBrowserBetweenTests: false,

As the comment says - this slows down your tests - make sure that there is a real reason for restarting the browser between tests. Please note that installation means restarting the browser with each it(), and not describe().
