I have a false positive detection of the following string

my_weird_string_is_this = "1f45ft5o-99ja-e3ol-1v7b-9s1b1c559f2f"

This is captured by the generic API key rule.

Adding the following in .gitleaks.toml

[[allowlists]]
description = "Exclude my weird string"
regexes = [
    '''(?i)my_weird_string_is_this\s*=\s*.*'''
]

does not help since I get

gitleaks dir myfile --config .gitleaks.toml

Regardless of the allowlists entry / regex not working (for which I would also appreciate your help / feedback), what is the best / recommended practice to go about this? A stand-alone allowlists entry as above or overriding the generic-api-key with a [[rules.allowlist]]?

Thanks in advance for your help
