AuthorizationInfo authInfo.getAuthorizationUrl() doesn't work?

[Hoang Trinh]

Hi everyone,

Recently, I add a new scope to my add-on, which is now published.

I did some tests and it requires the user to accept new scope to continue using the add-on.

I did implemented this functionality to send mail that contains the Authorization Url to users: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/script/authorization-info.html#getAuthorizationUrl() (in case they don't open the add-on to accept new scopes)

The authorization url looks like this:

https://script.google.com/macros/d/<scriptId here>/authorize

But the problem is, when I click the url, it opens a new tab and disappear immediately, which doesn't allow user to accept new scopes.

What is wrong here?

Thank you.

The page at the URL will close automatically if it is accessed and the script does not require any authorization. (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/script/authorization-info#getauthorizationurl)
