Popup blocking the gdrive authorization in chrome

Question

So, the problem is that popup blocking the window open even if it is done by a user action, click for example..

gapi.auth.authorize({
   client_id: this.client_id,
   scope: this.scopes,
   access_type: 'online',
   immediate: immediate
}, function(authResult) {
   console.log(authResult)
});

If i simply open the window on user click as here:

$('.some').click(funciton(){
    window.open(someurl)
})

it works fine, but if i did it throw the gdrive api(gapi.auth.authorize), this blocking anyway.

A must, I can not force users to off popap blocking. I hope that anybody now how solved it :), thanks

Answer 1

Try this:

Include an onload event in your call to client.js

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=handleClientLoad"></script>

Call gapi.auth.init from the onload function:

function handleClientLoad() { window.setTimeout(gapi.auth.init,1); }

In your authorize configuration set immediate: false.

Check that 1. is below 2. in the flow of the page.
