Error message

Found no repos for organization: {self.repo_owner}. Does the credential have the right scopes?

What it means

ConnectorValidationError raised when repositories is unset, repo_owner resolved to an organization (get_organization succeeded), but org.get_repos().totalCount == 0. The credential works yet sees zero repos, so the connector would index nothing. The message explicitly asks whether the credential has the right scopes.

Solutions

Use a classic PAT with the 'repo' scope, or a fine-grained PAT with explicit access to that org's repositories (org owner must approve).
Confirm the token's user is a member of the org with repository read access.
Verify outside the app: gh api /orgs/<owner>/repos --jq length with the same token.

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if gh.get_organization(owner).get_repos().totalCount == 0:
    warn('token sees zero org repos — check scopes before saving')

Try / catch

try:
    connector.validate_connector_settings()
except ConnectorValidationError as e:
    guide_user_to_scope_fix(str(e))

Prevention

Issue tokens with the 'repo' scope when private org repos must be indexed.
Smoke-test the token with 'gh api /orgs/<owner>/repos' before wiring it into the connector.

When it happens

Trigger: repo_owner is a valid org name, the token authenticates, but the token's scopes (e.g. a public-repo-only or wrong-org fine-grained PAT) expose no repositories, returning totalCount 0.

Common situations: Fine-grained PAT limited to 'public repos' of other orgs; classic token without 'repo' scope against a private-repo org; token belongs to a different org membership.
