GitHub repository not found with name: {self.repo_owner}/{se

Error message

GitHub repository not found with name: {self.repo_owner}/{self.repositories}

What it means

ConnectorValidationError raised on HTTP 404 in single-repo mode ('repositories' has no comma). The exact requested pair repo_owner/repositories was not found — either truly absent, private-invisible to this token, or the owner/name split is wrong.

Solutions

1. Verify the full 'owner/repo' string opens in a browser or via gh repo view.
2. If private, give the token the 'repo' scope / fine-grained access so the repo is visible (404 becomes 200).
3. Update the setting if the repository was renamed or transferred.

try:
    gh.get_repo(f'{owner}/{repo_name}')
except GithubException as e:
    if e.status == 404:
        suggest_name_check(owner, repo_name)

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

When it happens

Trigger: get_repo(f'{repo_owner}/{self.repositories}') or get_contents('') returns 404: nonexistent repo name, private repo with an unprivileged token, or repo_owner pointing at a different account.

Common situations: Repo renamed after the connector was configured; case/typo in the name; trying to index another org's private repo; owner/repo order swapped in configuration.
