TypeError: protractor.promise.controlFlow is not a function

My project can't compile because of the following error:

[dev] [14:14:13] E/launcher - Error: TypeError: protractor.promise.controlFlow is not a function

hi! thanks for the submission.
I checked the Protractor 6.0.0 changes, Apparently they got rid of the controlFlow mechanics from WebDriver, relevant commit from protractor

I see two possible solutions, if you really need the http-client

• stick with protractor 5.x which still makes use of controlFlow()
• modify protractor-http-client to be compatible with 6.0.0, (and figure out retrocompatibility)
