You run suricata-verify with the options mentioned in the issue i.e.
python ../suricata-verify/run.py --test-skip HTTP_EVADER_OK

Please note that the above command shall run all the tests. You could
also run the particular test in which you add HTTP_EVADEROK in
test.yaml by adding the test's full name or a substring. e.g. if you
test is named "mytest"
python ../suricata-verify/run.py --test-skip HTTP_EVADER_OK mytest

We declare it in the "requires" section of test.yaml. e.g. like this
one has HAVE_LUA:
https://github.com/OISF/suricata-verify/blob/master/tests/lua-output-dns/test.yaml

No problem. It's perfectly alright.

Please let me know any questions that you may have.
This is not a beginner level task (we haven't tagged it like that
either) but it holds a lot of value so its OK if you take longer on
this issue compared to the other ones that you have worked on. Just
ask whenever you are stuck.

I hope this helps.
