GithubRepoProvider cannot access private repositories in Github

I tried following the documentation on enabling private Github repository access but am unable to make it work. I am using the latest (to date) 0.2.0-fbbc302 helm chart for binderhub. My current secret.yaml looks like this:

config:
  GithubRepoProvider:
    access_token: <access-token-from-github>

But when I try to build a private repository I get the following:

Could not resolve ref for gh:<username>/<repository>/master. Double check your URL.

Just to verify, I tried out the GitLabRepoProvider for gitlab with the following setting:

config:
  GitLabRepoProvider:
    private_token: <gitlab-token>

This pretty much works fine. Anything I am missing?

P.S. i also tried creating a Github App with a client_id and client_secret with the secret.yaml that looks like below but that also does not work.

config:
  GithubRepoProvider:
    client_id: <id>
    client_secret: <secret>

@kaseyhackspace my bad for the late reply, but private github repo access has been working for me (using the binder helm chart 0.2.0-f746e50 and using access_token in my secrets.yaml) …curious what version of repo2docker you’re using? I initially ran into issues too but was fixed after https://github.com/jupyter/repo2docker/issues/736

P.S. it should be GitHubRepoProvider in your secrets.yaml, not GithubRepoProvider

Changing to 0.2.0-f746e50 fixed this bug for me, but note for anyone that might have the same issue: running “helm upgrade” didn’t work, I had to delete and re-install the helm chart from scratch.
