Protractor with resolution based tests

I'm just getting into testing my node app with Protractor. Running into an issue with various resolutions, sometimes buttons are hidden/show depending on the screen size & making tests fail occasionally that shouldn't.

Is there a way to set up my tests so that certain tests run with certain resolutions & others are excluded?

Can someone point me to some resources they've found?

If you can group the the different types of specs by file then you should use multicapabilities. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/27489765/689411

If you need to mix tests in the same file that each have a special required resolution you can change the resolution once per test 

var switchToMobileResolution = function() { browser.manage().window().setSize(500, 900); }
it('does something that only works on mobile',function(){ 
    switchToMobileResolution(); 
    //do something... 
});

Another thing you could do is you could write a simple jasmine reporter that switches resolutions if it matches a special string in the spec name... 

var mobileResolutionSpecKey = 'on mobile';
var myReporter = {
 specStarted: function(result) { 
    if(result.fullName.match(mobileResoultionSpecKey) !== null){
      switchToMobileResolution();
    }
}
jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(myReporter);
