Error message

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

What it means

ConnectorValidationError raised on the fallback path: repo_owner is not an accessible organization, so the connector tries get_user(repo_owner); if user.get_repos().totalCount == 0 it refuses to index nothing. Like the org variant, it points at token scopes — the owner exists as a user but the credential can see none of their repos.

Solutions

1. Re-issue the token with the 'repo' scope (classic) or grant the fine-grained PAT access to those repositories.
2. Or explicitly set 'repositories' to named repos instead of relying on whole-owner enumeration.
3. Confirm the owner string is the intended account (not a same-named org).

user = gh.get_user(owner)
if user.get_repos().totalCount == 0 and not explicit_repositories:
    warn('zero visible repos for this owner — check token scopes')

try:
    connector.validate_connector_settings()
except ConnectorValidationError as e:
    return 400, str(e)

When it happens

Trigger: repo_owner is a personal account, the token authenticates, but every repo that account owns is private (or the token lacks access), so the public/visible repo count is zero.

Common situations: Indexing your own account with all-private repos using a PAT without 'repo' scope; owner name that is actually an empty org but resolves as a user; fork-only accounts with hidden visibility.
