title: Angular cli, overwrite the command that gets run by 'ng e2e'?
body: <p>I'm trying run Angular's e2e tests against an instance of the application <strong>ON A DIFFERENT SERVER</strong> than my local machine.
  So to be clear, I'm <em>not testing my local code</em>. </p>
  
  <p>I just need to run protractor without the angular build steps because it's a waste of time since the code I'm testing is on another server. Unfortunately, the angular.json file throws an error if i excessively modify/remove the following line:</p>
  
  <p><code>"builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:protractor",</code></p>
  
  <p>I already have a solution for this, but it's long winded and I'd like to be able to not change how my teammates are running tests from their shells: </p>
  
  <p><code>node node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor e2e/protractor.conf.js</code></p>
  
  <p>I have two thoughts: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Write npm script which runs this command (what i'll likely end up doing)</li>
  <li>Find out how to overwrite what <code>ng e2e</code> does. If I can run the more complicated command here, it'll save productivity and feedback time.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'm on Angular V7.</p>
  
  <p>Is overwriting <code>ng e2e</code> so that it executes <code>node node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor e2e/protractor.conf.js</code> instead possible?</p>
