Hi @AttilaT thank you for reaching out. skip_check should come under steps. Please the following example:

Example:

on: [push]
jobs:
  checkov-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: checkov-action
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@master

      - name: Run Checkov action
        id: checkov
        uses: bridgecrewio/checkov-action@master
        with:
          directory: example/
          file: example/tfplan.json # optional: provide the path for resource to be scanned. This will override the directory if both are provided.
          check: CKV_AWS_1 # optional: run only a specific check_id. can be comma separated list
          skip_check: CKV_AWS_2 # optional: skip a specific check_id. can be comma separated list
          quiet: true # optional: display only failed checks
          soft_fail: true # optional: do not return an error code if there are failed checks

          var_file: ./testdir/gocd.yaml # optional: variable files to load in addition to the default files. Currently only supported for source Terraform and Helm chart scans.
          log_level: DEBUG # optional: set log level. Default WARNING
          config_file: path/this_file
          baseline: cloudformation/.checkov.baseline # optional: Path to a generated baseline file. Will only report results not in the baseline.

It's not a viable solution as that will skip it for all the files being scanned while I only need it for one.

Is it selective when the inline skip works and when not, if yes is there any documentation on it?

[naveednawazkhan]

Please follow this doc.

https://www.checkov.io/2.Basics/Suppressing%20and%20Skipping%20Policies.html

[AttilaT]

Please allow me to re-iterate as the doc is not helping.

I'm scanning a Github workflow yaml file that contains at top level permissions: write-all which is flagged by checkov scanner, and right above it the skip #checkov:skip=CKV2_GHA_1:Please ignore.

This skip doesn't seem to be working.

There are multiple files and only one specific is allowed to use permissions: write-all at top level.

Thanks for the details. After internal discussions, we concluded it was a feature request. Feel free to contribute to it.

[AttilaT]

Could you share some details to what would need changing?
