Get-GitHubUser fails

[Liturgist]

A description of your problem or question

I seem to have regressed. I thought this was working.

Test-GitHubAuthenticationConfigured returns True, but Get-GitHubUser fails. The github.com/enterprises/myco web interface shows that the_user can login. I cannot give out company information, so I have created variables to make this easier to repro.

Steps to reproduce the issue

$CompanyName = 'theco'
$PatFileName = '~/github-theuser-all.txt'
$UserName = 'theuser'

Clear-GitHubAuthentication
$secureString = ((Get-Content -Path $PatFileName) | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $Env:USERNAME, $secureString
Set-GitHubAuthentication -Credential $cred
$secureString = $null
$cred = $null
Test-GitHubAuthenticationConfigured
Reset-GitHubConfiguration
Get-GitHubConfiguration -Name 'ApiHostname'
Set-GitHubConfiguration -ApiHostName "github.com/enterprises/$CompanyName"
Get-GitHubConfiguration -Name 'ApiHostname'
Get-GitHubUser -UserName $UserName -Verbose

Verbose logs showing the problem

When run as a script, the following is produced. 'theuser' can login through the web interface successfully.

Test-GitHubAuthenticationConfigured just checks to see if you've configured an AccessToken. It doesn't do anything to check if the AccessToken is valid...you find that out when you use a function.

Ultimately, I think this comes down to you setting the correct ApiHostname, my best guess is that github.com/enterprises/$CompanyName is simply not the right value. You should check your configuration/documentation and determine what the appropriate REST endpoint is.

github.com/enterprises/$CompanyName is exactly the same string used when I login to GitHub through a web browser.

The output, including verbose output, does not provide a clue as to what the problem is. What am I missing?

The answer appears to be that for Enterprise Cloud users, the ApiHostName should not be changed from github.com.

An org URL is https://github.com/OrgName. This would imply that ALL organization names across ALL GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers must be unique. If not, then how are they distinguished.

If Acme Corp creates a SALES organization, then Widget Corp would not be able to create a SALES organization. Is that really true?
