Failed to fetch repositories

Error message

Failed to fetch repositories

What it means

SmartIssuePicker resolves the GitHub connection via listConnections() (throwing 'NOT_CONNECTED' when none is ACTIVE/CONNECTED), then runs the Composio action GITHUB_LIST_REPOSITORIES_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER; when the action returns successful=false with an empty error string, this fallback message is thrown.

Solutions

1. Open Connections and verify the GitHub (Composio) connection is ACTIVE; reconnect if stale
2. Retry after a short wait — rate limits are transient
3. Run the same action from the Composio dashboard to see the underlying error and check Composio service status

// Check connection freshness before loading the picker:
const conns = await listConnections();
const gh = conns.connections?.find(c =>
  c.toolkit.toLowerCase().includes('github') &&
  (c.status === 'ACTIVE' || c.status === 'CONNECTED')
);
if (!gh) { /* show connect-GitHub prompt instead of fetching */ }

const isActiveGithub = (c: { toolkit: string; status: string }): boolean =>
  c.toolkit.toLowerCase().includes('github') &&
  (c.status === 'ACTIVE' || c.status === 'CONNECTED');

try {
  await loadRepos();
} catch (e) {
  const msg = e instanceof Error ? e.message : String(e);
  if (msg === 'NOT_CONNECTED') { promptConnectGithub(); return; }
  if (msg === 'Failed to fetch repositories') { showRetryWithComposioHint(); return; }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Composio executes the action but reports failure with res.error empty: rate limit, expired Composio connection token, or a GitHub API error swallowed upstream.

Common situations: Composio GitHub connection went stale and needs re-auth; Composio outage or throttling; OAuth grant revoked on the GitHub side.
