[steveoh]

Expected Behavior

when I set the owner in the provider, all actions should be taken on repositories in that org.

Actual Behavior

api requests go to my personal accounts org

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.5.7
on darwin_amd64

• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/github v5.40.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google v5.2.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google-beta v5.2.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/local v2.4.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/integrations/github v5.40.0

Terraform Configuration Files

provider "github" {
  owner = "my-org"
}

resource "github_repository_environment" "prod" {
  environment = "prod"
  repository  = "repo"

  reviewers {
    users = [
      data.github_user.one.id,
      data.github_user.two.id,
      data.github_user.three.id
    ]
  }

  deployment_branch_policy {
    protected_branches     = false
    custom_branch_policies = true
  }
}

Steps to Reproduce

with the gh cli installed, add a github_repository_environment and some github_actions_environment_secret to an existing repository.

Apply the plan.

This only happens when using

terraform {
  required_providers {
    github = {
      source  = "integrations/github"
    }
  }
}

which sets the new provider. The hashicorp provider does not have this bug.

@kfcampbell can you point me and others in the right direction so we can be successful to implement the fix? I ask since you marked this as up for grabs which to me implies it's not a priority for the maintainers.

[kfcampbell]

I don't have a confident answer on what the right direction here is. It's probably related to #1655 as well; frequently our resources take the owner of the token instead of a specified owner.
