Pattern being incorrectly matched

[cpurules]

I am running git-secrets on Windows, using the latest master-branch source.

I have a currently empty config.json file to store a token for an application:

{
    "Token": ""
}

I am attempting to write a rule to pick up non-blank tokens. I have tried several variations:

git secrets --add '"Token": ".+"'
git secrets --add '\"Token\": \".+\"'
git secrets --add '\"Token\": \".+?\"
git secrets --add '\"Token\": \"[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\"'
git secrets --add '\"Token\"\: \"[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\"'

The first rule ends up matching every line in every file. I think this is an issue with the quote character being escaped.

Every other rule I have flags the 2nd line of config.json (below) as matching the prohibited pattern.

config.json:2:    "Token": ""

[ERROR] Matched one or more prohibited patterns

However in all of these cases I'm looking for a non-empty token string, and the + operator should be doing that for me. I'm really not sure what's going on here. I'm not the sharpest with RegEx but this should be correct and I've tested with several online tools which all validate this as well.

Thanks, Charlie

Some additional issues with the regex matching as I've added more to config.json. Note that I added the blank token as an allowed literal for the time being.

config.json

{
    "TOKEN": "",
    "GUILD_ID": "",
    "MAX_WINNERS_PER_GROUP": 0
}

git secrets --list

git secrets --list
secrets.patterns \"Token\": \"[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\"
secrets.allowed "Token": ""

error i receive on commit/scan

config.json:2:    "TOKEN": "",
config.json:3:    "GUILD_ID": "",
config.json:4:    "MAX_WINNERS_PER_GROUP": 0

[ERROR] Matched one or more prohibited patterns

It seems this pattern is matching... anything that looks remotely similar.

+1 I am having trouble ignoring the match for "AccountId"

Looked into this with my personal usage. Your pattern can't have spaces in it causes it to split words. Instead, replace the spaces with \s for now and I will look into what changes should be made to prevent this.
