None of the specified repositories could be accessed

Error message

None of the specified repositories could be accessed: {validation_errors}

What it means

ConnectorValidationError raised in multi-repo validation after every listed repository failed the access probe. For each name the connector calls github_client.get_repo('owner/name') and get_contents(''); each GithubException message is appended, and if none succeeded, all errors are joined into one message. It means the token authenticated but could not read any requested repo.

Solutions

Read the per-repo reasons in the message — each 'Repository <name>: <message>' tells you 404 (name/private/no access) vs 403 (permissions).
Fix names or grant the token access (repo scope / fine-grained PAT including those repos), then re-validate.
For SAML orgs, authorize the PAT for SSO (GitHub Settings -> Authorization).

Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

names = [n.strip() for n in repositories.split(',') if n.strip()]
for name in names:
    try:
        gh.get_repo(f'{owner}/{name}')
    except GithubException:
        flag_name_for_user(name)

Try / catch

try:
    connector.validate_connector_settings()
except ConnectorValidationError as e:
    # e.message lists per-repo reasons; show them per row in the UI
    display_per_repo_errors(e.message)

Prevention

Pre-check repo visibility with gh repo view or GET /repos/{owner}/{repo} before configuring.
Prefer fine-grained PATs with an explicit repository allowlist matching the configured names.

When it happens

Trigger: repositories='repo-a,repo-b' where get_repo or get_contents raises GithubException for every entry: wrong names, private repos the token cannot see, or org SSO not granted.

Common situations: Fine-grained PAT without access to the private repos; typo'd repo names; token scoped to a different org; SAML-protected org where the PAT was never authorized.
