Unable to skip Jenkins Build by SCM Skip Plugin

I am working on a pipeline script in Jenkins to build the project based on a commit message. From Jenkins' forum, I noticed that we can use SCM skip plugin. I installed the plugin and added the below stage as the forum suggests:

scmSkip(deleteBuild: true, skipPattern:'.*\\[ci skip\\].*')

When I commit a change with the following commit message:

git commit -m "[ci skip] Updated Audit Test Data Files with scan status"

The build is not skipped. It progresses with the other stages.

In console logs, I see the message

SCM Skip: Changelog is empty!

How do I construct the scmSkip call to skip the build when a commit message including "[ci skip]" is found? Are there alternatives that are easier to implement?

Thanks, Karthik P.

Be sure you aren't skipping the scm default checkout (via skipDefaultCheckout true) on the node where the build is running.

pipeline {
    options {
        skipDefaultCheckout false
    }

    stages {
        stage('Check for Skip') {
            steps {
                scmSkip(deleteBuild: true, skipPattern:'.*\\[ci skip\\].*')
            }
        }

It's probably because you didn't checkout first the repository
