Oops, an error occured

[vorburger]

Hello - I've hit a red "Oops, an error occured" with This exception has been logged with id 6jbmp8eo0 & 6jbmpa5ai (tried) twice, if you can fix this it would be great to use this tool.. here's exact steps of what I was doing:

1. went to https://gu-who.herokuapp.com/
2. clicked on "Log In via GitHub!"
3. using myself (vorburger)
4. choose the TemenosDS org. (which was just set-up -- there isn't some cacheing issue or something?)
5. it went to https://gu-who.herokuapp.com/audit/TemenosDS
6. the red "Oops, an error occured" page appeared

Hi @vorburger, thanks for reporting your issue! So, you've fallen foul of a rule I implemented on gu:who to prevent casual denial-of-service attacks. gu:who requires that your organisation has at least one public member whose account is over 3 months old. At the moment your organisation has zero public members:

https://github.com/orgs/TemenosDS/people

If you can make even one of your members public, so long as their account is over 3 months old, then gu:who will not blow up.

Apologies for the poor way this issue is reported to you, the user. The error message in the logs (updated with #26) is actually quite clear:

I need to fix the user-experience here (gotta pick a scala validation framework!), so will leave this bug open to remind myself.

Thanks for your prompt response! Sorry to be a pain, but.. are you sure? Because now I'm public on https://github.com/TemenosDS, and retried it, but hit the same red error, logged with IDs 6jbod91gl & 6jbodccak (one Token and one via GitHub).

I can see you've resolved the public-member problem! Have you setup your 'people' repo?

Oh OK, now it all works... indeed it's a little difficult to guess this from "6jbod91gl" ! ;-)

Yeah, the feedback to users through the web interface needs to be improved!
