helpers-reference

helpers-reference is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marcellourbani/vscode_abap_remote_fs. It costs 73 tokens per session (3,769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to the built-in SAP Testing runtime, the shared code that helps automated tests interact with SAP software and test data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand tools for SAP sessions, test files, test data, fixtures, formatting, web-screen rendering, element locators, themes, and embedded frames.
Why use it?
It helps developers find and use existing testing helpers correctly before assuming a new one is needed. This reduces errors that could make many tests report results they should not trust.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

helpers-reference scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Helpers Reference

For bounded, self-contained support work, use sap-task-helper with explicit inputs, allowed writes, and an output contract.

Non-negotiable execution gate

Using a helper does not bypass the SAP Testing phase requirements. The abapfs_run_playwright_tests tool verifies required steps, artifacts, data caches, and script checks and will reject the run if any are missing, stale, incomplete, or unverified. A helper or escape-hatch workaround cannot bypass this validation.

Why

Helpers are load-bearing. Every test in this project depends on them. A hidden bug here — a silent-swallow wait, a locator that matches the wrong element, a popup guard that dismisses a real error — makes hundreds of tests lie in unison. Treat this API like any other production dependency you can't patch yourself: understand it precisely, use it correctly, and know exactly what to do when it doesn't cover something.

Read this before assuming a capability is missing. The runtime is deliberately generic and fairly complete; most "I need a new helper" instincts are actually "I haven't found the right existing one yet."

Use this reference for runtime API contracts. For WebGUI rendering behavior, locator stability, accessible names, iframes, themes, dialogs, ALV, and uploads, load sap-webgui.

Where this actually lives (important — read this first)

Unlike test artifacts, the runtime is NOT a file in the configured test folder or workspace. Only its @sap-testing/runtime API and type declarations are exposed; runtime implementation files cannot be read or edited from the workspace. See "When a capability is genuinely missing" below.

What you CAN see: the type declarations surfaced via @sap-testing/runtime (real IntelliSense/type-checking while you write a spec), and the method reference below (this file + build-scripts §2). Between the two, you should never need to guess a method's existence or signature.

Standalone context rule

For a general API question, answer directly from this reference. If the user wants you to inspect, write, or fix a real test artifact, first complete the standalone bootstrap in the relevant phase workflow:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
