Refresh token not returned even with accessType: 'offline', and approvalPrompt: 'force'

[thomasmurphycodes]

I am not receiving a refresh token, even with the parameters set as below. All other stackoverflow answers and closed issues seem to have had issues involving them not having syntax similar to below, so raising this as a new issue.

This code:
passport.authenticate('google', { scope: ["profile email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar"], accessType: 'offline', approvalPrompt: 'force'}),

returns in the CB:
the access and refresh tokens are: ya29.CjLhArlZ3nRKqHdttUwrtYey4iS1P84cX59u0httnSACnk9NS1V-SRE0_SiQmZ9rpSbEuw undefined

@Nico-Nico-FR this doesn't seem to be the same issue we're talking about here. In my code above you can see that accessType and aprovalPrompt are set in passport.authenticate, just as the solution in the old linked question shows.

I've confirmed that adding the "session: false" to the passport.authenticate argument object does not cause a refresh token to return.

I think this is still a standing issue.

I'm also facing the same problem recently. Previously I'm able to get refresh token with the said parameters with or without session: false

BTW I figured out that this is a chrome issue because the confirmation page doesn't show in chrome. I've tested in Firefox, and I'm getting the refresh token.

Edit: I got excited too soon. It doesn't work in firefox as well.

Seems like approvalPrompt no longer works. Now I'm using prompt: 'consent' and it works.

@cyan198 Thank you for tips, is it well working on my side !

@cyan198 Thanks! This worked great.

@cyan198 I'm way late to this chain but thank you so much! I think chrome just did an update and having the "approvalPrompt:force" suddenly doesn't work anymore. But the prompt:consent does.

I can't find any of this documented anywhere either :/. You're my hero
