Automation Nutcracker: HF-ROCKS Edition

Featuring:

A Wizard,
a token,
a nutcracker
and Oscar the Grouch

How I walked into a terminal and got jack-hammered slapped with errors. And please don't ask me what jack-hammered slapped means. Nobody knows.

Symptoms

Terminal vomit featuring Son of a Nutcracker
API responses colder than a Lambda start
The lingering suspicion that the machine knows you're trying to be cool :sunglasses:

Cause of Death

Ego-Driven Org Name Change: Trying to flex by renaming the org to HF-ROCKS instead of just leaving eh-quizz alone.
Token Permissions in Witness Protection: The API didn't lie; my token was missing org-level permissions. But it still pissed me off.
Blind Faith in the UI: Thinking that what I saw in the Hugging Face dashboard actually mattered in the API response.

Autopsy Findings

Here's how it all unraveled:

The First Heartbreak

A WIZARD created a new Repo: HF ROCKS/testing-magic
Son of a Nutcracker. Failed to create resource group: {"error":"Sorry, we can't find the page you are looking for."}
Damn. Failed to set up resource group

Conclusion: The API didn't give a flying horse monkey crap about my cool new org name.

And once again, please don't ask me what flying horse monkey crap means. Nobody knows.

Forensics Report

After scraping away the layers with test.py, I finally hit paydirt:

"orgs": [{"type":"org","id":"67a287f99b8fb9f109323d45","name":"eh-quizz","fullname":"HF-ROCKS",...}]

Mismatched name field detected.

My whole plan went straight into Oscar the Grouch's trashcan because the API was locked on the original name, not the flashy one I gave it in the UI.

Resurrection Steps

Update token permissions to include Org scope (the hidden boss level nobody talks about).
Accept the fact that API responses don't care about your branding ambitions.
Run the script again...

Golden Sunset

Resource group successfully summoned! ID: 67c9ed9e658c9a336cb87170
Repository testing-magic has joined the resource group party!
Creator joshhayles is now the admin overlord of this resource group!
Ohh, snap! Successfully set up resource group for the new repository!

Lessons learned?

The API is always right.
You're not cool enough to rename your org name mid-script.
Automation without humility will absolutely clown you.
