# Ignore

## Usage

`snyk ignore --id=<ISSUE_ID> [--expiry=] [--reason=] [--policy-path=<PATH_TO_POLICY_FILE>] [--path=<PATH_TO_RESOURCE>] [OPTIONS]`

OR

`snyk ignore [--expiry=] [--reason=] [--policy-path=<PATH_TO_POLICY_FILE>] [--file-path=<PATH_TO_RESOURCE>] [OPTIONS]`

## Description

The `snyk ignore` command modifies the `.snyk` policy file to ignore a stated issue according to its snyk ID for all occurrences, its expiry date, a reason, or according to paths in the filesystem.

This updates your local `.snyk` file to contain a block similar to the following:

```yaml
ignore:
  '<ISSUE_ID>':
    - '*':
        reason: <REASON>
        expires: <EXPIRY>
```

When you use the `--path` option the block is similar to this:

```yaml
ignore:
  '<ISSUE_ID>':
    - '<PATH_TO_RESOURCE>':
        reason: <REASON>
        expires: <EXPIRY>
```

When you use the `--file-path` option the block is similar to this:

```yaml
exclude:
  '<GROUP>':
    - <FILE MATCHING-PATTERN>
    - <FILE MATCHING-PATTERN>:
      reason: <REASON>
      expires: <EXPIRY>
      created: <CREATION TIME>
```

## Debug

Use the `-d` option to output the debug logs.

## Options

### `--id=<ISSUE_ID>`

Snyk ID for the issue to ignore, omitted if used with `--file-path`; required by other use cases.

### `--expiry=<EXPIRY>`

Expiry date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.

Supported formats:

[ISO 8601](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html)

[RFC 2822](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822)

Default: 30 days or none if used with `--file-path`

### `--reason=<REASON>`

Human-readable `<REASON>` to ignore this issue.

Default: none

### `--policy-path=<PATH_TO_POLICY_FILE>`

Path to a `.snyk` policy file to pass manually.

Default: none

### `--path=<PATH_TO_RESOURCE>`

Path to resource inside the depgraph for which to ignore the issue.

Use to narrow the scope of the ignore rule. When no resource path is specified, all resources are ignored.

If used, follows the `--policy-path` option.

Default: all

### `--file-path=<PATH_TO_RESOURCE>`

Filesystem for which to ignore the issue. Used by `snyk code` and `snyk test --unmanaged`

Default: none

### `--file-path-group=[global|code|iac-drift]`

Grouping used in combination with `--file-path`, otherwise omitted.

Default: global
