title: Timed out waiting for Protractor to synchronize with the page after 11 seconds
body: <p>I am new to Protractor (can say just 1 day old) and have been trying to run end to end test.</p>
  
  <p>However, every time I run conf.js, I am being displayed with "Timed out waiting for Protractor to synchronize with the page after 11 seconds."</p>
  
  <p>Before posting this question, have tried all options given by other respondents, but still am unable to resolve the issue and thus request your help.</p>
  
  <p>To support, below are the details of my configurations and spec js files:</p>
  
  <p>Conf.js:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    exports.config = {
        directConnect: true,
        capabilities: {'browserName': 'chrome'},
        framework: 'jasmine',
        specs: ['example_spec.js'],
      jasmineNodeOpts: {
      defaultTimeoutInterval: 100000
        }
       };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>example_spec.js:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    describe('forfirm homepage', function() {
          it('login window should open', function() {
           browser.get('https://www.forfirm.com');
           element(by.model('forfirm.email')).sendKeys('email@email.com');
           element(by.model('form.password')).sendKeys('Password');
               });
           });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output received:</p>
  
  <pre><code>      Failures:
         1) forfirm homepage login window should open

  <p>Also, while running the protractor conf.js, I could not see protractor launching Chrome browser.</p>
