Unable to list private repositories

[deanwilson]

Hello, I'm unsure if this is user error (most likely) but I'm having issues including private repositories in the results of a repos.list call. I've tried using different scopes in the generated Personal access token, including adding one with all permissions enabled, but i am still unable to list private repositories.

require 'github_api'

username = 'deanwilson'
private_repo = 'private-test-repo_name'

config = {
  auto_pagination: true,
  oauth_token:     ENV['GITHUB_TOKEN'],
  user:            username
}

github = Github.new config

# get the private repo directly
foo = github.repos.get user: username, repo: private_repo

puts "Is #{private_repo} private? #{foo.private}"


# list _all_ repos
repos = github.repos.list
puts "Looking through #{repos.length} repos"

names = repos.map {|r| r.name }

if names.include? private_repo
  puts "Found private repo in list"
else
  puts "Didn't find private repo in list"
end

private_repos = repos.select {|r| r.private }
puts "Found #{private_repos.length} private repos"
__END__

bundle exec ruby lister
Is private-test-repo private? true
Looking through 87 repos
Didn't find private repo in list
Found 0 private repos

This is an individual github user but it is also assicatyed with a small number of orgs. I am only attempting to list the users own repos.

Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

If i change user: username to org: 'actual-org-name it does return private repositories that are present in the specified organisation.

Same thing for me, tried switching user to be org but same result still can't list private repositories.
