Skip $timeout during Protractor tests

Question

I've added a minimum wait time for ajax in my application, but I would like my e2e tests to complete as quickly as possible. Can protractor be forced to skip waiting for $timeout to finish its wait time?

$timeout(function() {
    deferment.resolve(response);
}, waitTimeRemaining);

During e2eTests, I would like waitTimeRemaning to be skipped and move straight to the resolve.

Not sure if this works in protractor (never used it), but you should be able to do

$timeout.flush(waitTimeRemaining)

to synchronously flush the queue of deferred functions that would happen in the next waitTimeRemaining milliseconds.

This only works when you are using the angular mock $timeout .
