Research direction

Start by reproducing run-multiple execution with Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, then trace the output subfolder naming entry point. Confirm that folders use browser or channel names such as parallel_Chrome_1 rather than alphanumeric values, and validate the result with the download and FileSystem helper scenario described in the issue.

Description

stale
What are you trying to achieve?

For run-multiple execution with multiple browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, the subfolder in the output folder should have a name like parallel_Chrome_1, parallel_Safari_2, parallel_Firefox_3 etc

What do you get instead?

While executing using run-multiple the subfolder in the output folder should have name like the following:
parallel_0096a0c740a073d21e23267bf167f711a9826c9d84addc417bc5b320df11e0bd_1
parallel_f7899c9a407a947a824a4955416619aef2c53bd0fbb18965b53d0a3fb4c207d6_2

instead of browser/channel name some alphanumeric value is present in the folder name.

This makes it difficult to do many validations. For eg:
Validating the file download using handleDownloads and FileSystem helper, like using methods I.amInPath('output/folderName');
where folderName is parallel_0096a0c740a073d21e23267bf167f711a9826c9d84addc417bc5b320df11e0bd_1.
