Webdriver instances not created for custom protractor.conf file

Pretty simple, that’s because since you made a new config file and apparently placed in the folder /e2e instead of the default root folder, that should have been your first clue.

The path to the test files in your case should also be updated.

The following:

./e2e/**/*.e2e-spec.ts

Will be changed to:

./**/*.e2e-spec.ts

Since, currently the test is not able to find any files specified, it doesn’t run any instances in runtime. My suggestion is to have better practices for placing your files in the proper directory (some vim plugins might help.)
