The organization of a (private) repository of an organization (is not the same)

[pelegm]

I have an organization which owns several (15) private repositories. I assign it to org via get_organization('name_of_organization'). Indeed,

>>> type(org)
github.Organization.Organization

However, when I check the organization of a (private) repository owned by that organization, I get a different object with different properties.

For example,

>>> assert org.get_repos()[0].organization.total_private_repos == org.total_private_repos

fails.

In addition,

>>> org.get_repos()[0].organization.plan

is None, where

>>> org.plan.name
u'silver'

It may worth mentioning that

assert org.get_repos()[0].organization.id == org.id

does not fail.

See https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#get

The reason is when you create a Organization object out of the response of a get_repo call, you only a subset of the all the organization data, like:

"organization": {
    "login": "octocat",
    "id": 1,
    "avatar_url": "https://github.com/images/error/octocat_happy.gif",
    "gravatar_id": "",
    "url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat",
    "html_url": "https://github.com/octocat",
    "followers_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/followers",
    "following_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/following{/other_user}",
    "gists_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/gists{/gist_id}",
    "starred_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/starred{/owner}{/repo}",
    "subscriptions_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/subscriptions",
    "organizations_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/orgs",
    "repos_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/repos",
    "events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/events{/privacy}",
    "received_events_url": "https://api.github.com/users/octocat/received_events",
    "type": "Organization",
    "site_admin": false
  },

If you really want to compare, you have to get back the full organization by g.get_organization(org.id)
