Protractor params cannot include the word debug

I'm using protractor and winston together would like to pass in my winston logging level using the protractor --params option but it seems that if any word on in the command line arguments to protractor send it into debug.

For example I am trying to do the following

protractor conf.js --params.log_level 'debug'

Which sends me into protractor debug mode...

[08:28:26] I/hosted - Using the selenium server at     http://localhost:4444/wd/hub
[08:28:26] I/launcher - Running 1 instances of WebDriver
Starting debugger agent.
Debugger listening on port 5858
connecting to localhost:5858 ... ok
break in timers.js:156
154 }
155
>156 function listOnTimeout() {
157   var list = this._list;
158   var msecs = list.msecs;
debug>

My question is two fold.

Example

const winston = require('winston');
winston.level = browser.params['log_level']

This is probably the result of node itself picking 'debug' from the list of args. I don't think is it a bug since this is specified behavior of nodejs, see the node debugger documentation.

Maybe you can solve it by using an alternative notation for the command line parameters, I do think the following should work as well:

--params.log_level=debug

(updated to include reference to node debug, instead of protractor which I previously believed to pick up the debug command)
