browser.restart() hangs

[mwsessom]

Protractor hangs on browser.restart() and never restarts the browser.

describe('Angular test', function() {
  it('Browser restart test', function() {
    browser.get("https://angularjs.org/");
    browser.restart();
  })
});

Output: Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within timeout specified by jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.

Protractor 4.0.10
Chromedriver 2.25
Chrome 54.0.2840.71

Looks like using browser.driver.get instead of browser.get works.

Most likely, this is also caused by #3651 and related to #3677.
