`# fmt: skip` ignored in `if` conditionals

[metov]

Describe the bug

# fmt: skip does not work in if conditionals.

To Reproduce I expect the following code to not be reformatted, due to the skip directive. It is.

if True: print("yay") # fmt: skip

Expected behavior

Since the line contains # fmt: skip, black should leave it alone.

Environment

Problem happens on Black Playground, clearly it is not env specific.

• Black's version: 23.3.0
• OS and Python version: Arch Linux, Python 3.10.9

This may be related to https://github.com/psf/black/issues/3364. I'm not really familiar with how exactly black works, but I assume the skip directive applies to a single "syntactic element", and the condition is split off from the statement into a separate element before the skip is applied. Clearly it should be the other way around.

This is only a hunch though. Please do not close either of these as duplicate until there is actual evidence that these are indeed the same bug.

I believe the underlying cause for my issue is related. #fmt: skip doesn't work for single-line class definitions like this:

class Foo: ...  # fmt: skip

It's always reformatted for me to

class Foo:
    ...  # fmt: skip

Just want to add another situation this bugs out, but I've verified that #3978 fixes this (so please get that merged).

For example, take this code:

# {} () [] / % & | and or ... - + .  etc as part of the "else" clause presents the bug
(
    ""
    if True else  # fmt: skip
    []
    # NOTE: this entire comment is completely GONE!
    # Doesn't matter how many rows
)

Run in Online Formatter

Incorrectly returns:

(
    ""
    if True
    else []  # fmt: skip
)

Note: The comment is gone and the if True else line was broken.

Whereas in here it causes the formatting to fail completely.

(
    ""
    if True else  # fmt: skip
    [""]  # any single element [x], {x} (not parens), or ""[x] etc. breaks given that this comment (together with "else ..." format) goes beyond the allowed line length (default: 88)
)

Run in Online Formatter

The resulting error is:

Unable to match a closing bracket to the following opening bracket: ]
