Error Message is no longer available

[jlin412]

I am using cucumber framework with with Protractor 0.23.1.
When there is an error before executing script e.g. Lexing error or undefined object used in step definition or invalid combination capabilities for selenium grid, we won't receive any error message.

We will only get something like this from standard output:
Using the selenium server at http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
[launcher] Running 1 instances of WebDriver[launcher] chrome passed

However, when I execute with 0.20.8 version of protractor, I will receive:

---

PID: 63441 (capability: chrome #1)

Using the selenium server at http://CDLVDIW700640:5555/wd/hub

It is weird that we are no longer receive anymore error message. It is crucial for debugging.

I just try the latest 0.24.2. The error message is returned. Issue is closed.
