How Do I Run Two Different Specs at The Same Time? - gulp

Question

I am just wondering if it is possible to run two different specs at the same time using protractor.
My protractor.config.js is below:
var browserCapabilities = [
{
browserName: 'chrome',
maxInstances: 2,
seleniumAddress: seleniumServer,
platform: 'ANY',
version: 'ANY',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['--no-sandbox', '--test-type=browser', '--lang=en', '--window-size=1680,1050'],
prefs: {
'credentials_enable_service': false,
'profile': {
'password_manager_enabled': false
},
download: {
prompt_for_download: false,
directory_upgrade: true,
default_directory: 'C:\\downloads\\'
},
},
},
loggingPrefs: { browser: 'SEVERE' }
},
];
// Protractor config
exports.config = {
baseUrl: baseUrl,
directConnect: false,
allScriptsTimeout: 25 * 1000,
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 90 * 1000
},
getPageTimeout: 120 * 1000,
suites: {
adminRoles: 'compiled/artemis/settings/adminAppRoles.scenario.js',
adminUsers: 'compiled/artemis/settings/adminUsers.scenario.js',
benchmarks: 'compiled/artemis/benchmarks/benchmark.scenario.js',

},
multiCapabilities: browserCapabilities,
framework: 'jasmine2',
onPrepare: function() {
//Set Up a JUnit XML Reporter - Makes a nice test results area and trend graph in Jenkins
var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-reporters');
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter({
consolidateAll: true,
savePath: 'report',
filePrefix: 'xmloutput'
}));
const JasmineConsoleReporter = require('jasmine-console-reporter');
const consoleReporter = new JasmineConsoleReporter({
colors: 1,
cleanStack: 1,
verbosity: 4,
listStyle: 'indent',
activity: true,
emoji: true,
beep: true
});
//Setup screenshots
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(screenShotReporter);
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(consoleReporter);
browser.get(browser.baseUrl);
},
// Setup the report before any tests start
beforeLaunch: function() {
return new Promise(function(resolve) {
screenShotReporter.beforeLaunch(resolve);
});
},
// Close the report after all tests finish
afterLaunch: function(exitCode) {
return new Promise(function(resolve) {
screenShotReporter.afterLaunch(resolve.bind(this, exitCode));
});
},
};
I launch my tests with a command like this:
gulp e2e --suite suiteName --baseUrl http://myurl.com/
I would like to be able to for example launch my login suite and my navigation suite at the same time.
I have tried the maxInstances: 2 in the browserCapabilities variable, but that only launched the login suite.
I have tried doing two instances of the chrome object and then doing maxSessions: 2 but that only launched the login test twice.
I am envisioning a command like this: gulp e2e --suite login --suite navigation --baseUrl http://myurl.com and having it launch both suites simultaneously.

U can use shardTestFiles: true
// ...
capabilities: {
shardTestFiles: true,
maxInstances: 2,
// ...
