# Skip a Flaky Test
Use `skip.WithIssue` from `"github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/pkg/testutils/skip"`
to skip a test with a tracking issue number.
## Usage
Ask the user for the GitHub issue number, then add the skip after the defer
statements:
```go
func TestFlakyTest(t *testing.T) {
defer leaktest.AfterTest(t)()
defer log.Scope(t).Close(t)
skip.WithIssue(t, 167182, "flaky due to timeout")
// test body...
}
```
## Other Common Skip Variants
The `skip` package provides several other incantations for conditional skips:
- `skip.UnderRace(t, issueNum, "reason")` - skip only when running with race detector
- `skip.UnderDeadlock(t, issueNum, "reason")` - skip only when running with deadlock detector
- `skip.UnderDuress(t, issueNum, "reason")` - skip only when running under stress/duress
Use these when a test is flaky only under specific conditions rather than universally broken.
## Notes
- Issue number is an integer, not a string
- Place skip call after defer statements, before test body
- Be specific in reason: "flaky due to timeout" not just "flaky"
- Multiple tests with same root cause can share an issue number
- Ensure the `skip` package is imported
- Run `crlfmt -w -tab 2 <file>` after editing
