Hello,
I’m trying to generate a CSV from a Saved Search via the method `task.create()` from the N/task module.
Since it is asynchronous, if I try to open the file URL immediately (via script) after executing the task, I see a blank CSV file.
Is there some way (like promises maybe) to know when the CSV file generation is done?

I found the method `task.checkStatus()` but it will just show me the status, right?

Also, is there a way to view these task records in NetSuite?

Found a method `SearchTask.addInboundDependency()` which can apparently be used to trigger a scheduled script once the task execution is completed. I am probably going to use this one in my solution.
I hope this is the best possible way to handle such a scenario.
