How do you restart or clear the stat collection?

[ToreyStapleton]

I am trying to use your package for simple performance tests with Protractor. The issue I have is I have one spec with 3 tests that navigates to 3 different pages, I am calling perfRunner.start() and .stop() in each of these it blocks. However, every time I call for getStats('loadTime'), it returns the same value for each page which is impossible. How do I reset the perfRunner so I get a new loadTime every time?

Consider the following script:

it('logs in', function () {
    perfRunner.start();

    element(by.model('username')).sendKeys(browser.params.login.username);
    element(by.model('password')).sendKeys(browser.params.login.password);
    element(by.css('button[type="submit"]')).click().then(function () {
        Util.waitForUrlChange(/portfolio/).then(function () {
            perfRunner.stop();

            if (perfRunner.isEnabled) {

                perfRunner.getStats('Javascript').then(function (val) {
                    console.log('Javascript: ' + val);
                });

                perfRunner.getStats('loadTime').then(function (val) {
                    console.log('loadTime: ' + val);
                });

                expect(perfRunner.getStats('loadTime')).toBeLessThan(3000);
                expect(perfRunner.getStats('Javascript')).toBeLessThan(1000);
            });
        };
    });
});

it('goes to overview page', function () {
    perfRunner.start();

    var link = $('a[translate="HEADER.NAV_OVERVIEW"]');
    link.click().then(function () {
        Util.waitForUrlChange(/overview/).then(function () {
            perfRunner.stop();
            if (perfRunner.isEnabled) {

                perfRunner.getStats('Javascript').then(function (val) {
                    console.log('Javascript: ' + val);
                });

                perfRunner.getStats('loadTime').then(function (val) {
                    console.log('loadTime: ' + val);
                });

                expect(perfRunner.getStats('loadTime')).toBeLessThan(3000);
                expect(perfRunner.getStats('Javascript')).toBeLessThan(1000);
            });
        });
    });
});`

I have a console for Javascript and loadTime in each it block and this is what it prints:

✓ logs in
Javascript: 399.71500009298325
Load time: 2171

✓ goes to overview page
Javascript: 1282.9210000038147
Load time: 2171

If I called perfRunner.stop(), why is my JavaScript counter incrementing while the loadTime remains the exact same? I want individual results for each it block, not aggregated values.

How do I reset or clear the perfRunner results? Where is the document that lists all the function options, other than perfRunner.start() and perfRunner.stop()? Is there anything like perfRunner.reset() or .clear() etc?

I also see the same thing with loadTime. It never reset.

I'm also having the same issue.

dirty fix:
browser refresh does the work to be done.
add browser.refresh() before perfRunner.start();
