Protractor "restartBrowserBetweenTests: true" restart browser, but don't run test after this

I need to restart browser after each "it" (test), for this reason I write "restartBrowserBetweenTests: true" in protractor.config file. Now after first "it" (test) finished, browser closed and opened again (open website that I write in "beforeEach", but next "it" (test) is not run.

What I do wrong? I will be happy for any advice.

I use "protractor": "2.5.1".

Thanks!

Added:

beforeEach(function () {
    browserUtil.navigateTo(browserUtil.url.main); 
    loginPage.loginAsSample();
});

afterEach(function(){
    browserUtil.deleteCookies();
});

it("'Delete' button is inactive if there are no projects in the list", function() {
    projectPage.clickOnProjectButton();

    expect(projectPage.isProjectPageFormVisibility(true)).toBe(true);
    expect(projectPage.isDeleteBtnDisable()).toBe(true);
});

it("Create new project with template 'A'", function() {
    projectPage.clickOnNewProjectBtn();
    projectPage.clickOnAProject();
    projectPage.clickOnOkBtnProject();

    expect(projectPage.isOpenedProjectVisibility(true)).toBe(true);
});

I've never utilized restartBrowserBetweenTests: true, but this works for me:

in protractor.conf, remove restartBrowserBetweenTests: true

in test.spec.js, modify beforeEach and afterEach

beforeEach(function () {
    browser.get(browserUtil.url.main);
});

afterEach(function () {
    browser.manage().deleteAllCookies();
});

Being that you're utilizing a page object structure for your tests, you could/would want to encapsulate browser.get(browser.browserUtil.url.main); into you're page object.

Where ProjectPage is defined, I'd add :

this.refreshPage = function () {
     browser.get(browserUtil.url.main);
};

If you go with this approach, you'd change the call on beforeEach to : 

beforeEach(function () {
    projectPage.refresh();
});
