Will this work if we have to run our automation suite remotely?

[@TestAutomationHub]

file will be downloaded from web app and stored inside framework so ideally it should work for remote run as well.

[@TestAutomationHub]

@@sumitachoubey8821 no it will work for other version as well but if you are not using async mode then code might change a bit (await keyword)
