testing a site not working in internet explorer-values not able to enter in fields - protractor

Question

I am using protractor version 5.2.2 and cucumber-protractor framework, I have started practising testing for the LinkedIn site, but when I use the internet explorer browser it is only able to open the LinkedIn URL as mentioned in the config file and no scenarios are being executed, can anybody help me?
//config file
var params = require('./browsers.js');
var browser = params.browser;
var multiCapabilities = browser.split(',').map(function(browserName){
return {
browserName: browserName.trim()
};
})
var moment = require('moment')
var timeStamp = moment().format('YYYYMMDD_hhmmss');
exports.config = {
seleniumAddress: 'http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub',
getPageTimeout: 60000,
allScriptsTimeout: 500000,
framework: 'custom',
frameworkPath: require.resolve('protractor-cucumber-framework'),
// Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
multiCapabilities: multiCapabilities,
// Spec patterns are relative to the current working directory when
// protractor is called.
specs: ['Features/*.feature'],
baseUrl: 'https://www.linkedin.com/',
cucumberOpts: {
require: 'Features/step_definition/searchstep_linkedin.js',
tags: false,
plugin: ['pretty'],

profile: false,
'no-source': true
},

};
//Feature file
Background: I need to go linked in site
Given I go to url ""
Scenario: Should not login with blank username and password
Then I wait for "2000"
When I enter " " in "#login-email"
When I enter " " in "#login-password"
Then I click on "#login-submit"
Then I should see ""
//Spec File
Given(/^I go to url "(.*)"$/, function (url){
return browser.get(url);
});
When(/^I enter "(.*)" in "(.*)"$/, function (value,locator){ /**/
return element(by.xpath(locator)).sendKeys(value);
});
Then(/^I should see "(.*)"$/, function (url){ /**/
browser.sleep(2000);
return
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).to.eventually.equal(browser.baseUrl
+ url);
});
Then(/^I click on "(.*)"$/, function (locator){ /**/
return return element(by.xpath(locator)).click();
});
