Protractor "stale element reference: element not attached... How do I fix this?

Am able to get to the proper page no problem using browser.get(). I then get.all(by.TagName('a')) for the links and click on the first one, browser goes there no problem. This statement returns the promise with new URL...

browser.getCurrentUrl().then(function (url) {  //I can see proper new page url here..}

I get a stale page error on the expect statement below... contained within the callback above is this:

describe('new page url', function(){
     it('should do something', function(){
        expect(url == "http://SomeValueAlreadyKnown");
     } 
});

Please advise me on what I'm doing wrong. How to click on links and avoid stale page errors?

In protractor expect() is "patched" to resolve promises implicitly, you can just do:

expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual("http://SomeValueAlreadyKnown");
