TypeError: reporter.beforeLaunch is not a function

Question

I'm trying to implement protractor screenshot reporter for jasmine 2.

But, I'm getting the following error on terminal:

/usr/local/bin/node lib/cli.js example/conf.js

/Users/sadiq/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/q/q.js:155

throw e;

^

PFB the conf.js file

// An example configuration file.

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');

var reporter  = new Jasmine2HtmlReporter ({
dest:  '/Users/sadiq/node_modules/protractor/test-results',
filename: 'Login.html'
});

// Setup the report before any test starts
beforeLaunch: function (){

        reporter.beforeLaunch(resolve);
    });
},


onPrepare: function () {
    browser.driver.manage().window().setSize(1200, 800);
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
},


// Close the report after all tests finish
afterLaunch: function (exitCode) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        reporter.afterLaunch(resolve.bind(this, exitCode));
    });


  }

};

Usually reporters are set up in onPrepare instead of beforeLaunch:

var Jasmine2HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');

onPrepare: function () {
    browser.driver.manage().window().setSize(1200, 800);

    var reporter  = new Jasmine2HtmlReporter ({
        dest:  '/Users/sadiq/node_modules/protractor/test-results',
        filename: 'Login.html'
    });
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
},
