Ferdi: Can't login to Gmail when service was already created

[tswistak]

Describe the bug
It's impossible to log in to Gmail account for already existing services. After creating a new service, everything works OK, I'm redirected to the login page and I can log in without problems. But, when I want to login to existing Gmail service (or I reload a new one) I'm redirected to Gmail's home page, where clicking on Login redirects me to an external browser, therefore it's impossible to log in.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a Gmail service
2. Open it. Login window should be visible
3. Right-click on a service icon and click Reload
4. Click Login link to redirect to login

Expected behavior
I should be redirected to Gmail's login page inside Ferdi app, not in an external browser

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 10.14.6 (I was also able to reproduce it on Windows 10)

Additional context
I don't know whether this bug appears also in Franz. I haven't seen it in their Issues list.

What is the version of Ferdi?

[tswistak]

5.3.3.157

[Makazzz]

So the last stable version v5.3.3 ?

[Makazzz]

Ok I did the test on the 5.3.3 stable release and I have the same result. The service when is reload after restarting the app become with only external link and not the same connection page.

EDIT: I tested Franz 5.3.3 and I don't have this problem. Maybe the recipe was updated on Franz team side?

I had the same experience. I deleted my gmail service, readded it, and the account login screen showed up and I was able to login. Once done, I clicked and dragged it to the requisite order I wanted in the services-tabs ribbon.

That's not exactly a solution when you're working on multiple computers with Ferdi cloud synchronization. After removing and readding on the first computer, I'll run into the same issue on a second computer.

There seems to be a new version of the gmail recipe available - will update the recipe repository

For anyone who doesn't want to delete and re-add their service, you can click View > Open Service Developer Tools and type this into the console:

location.replace('https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=mail&continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/')

Alternatively, v5.4.0 comes with a settings option to show the address bar in services. This can be used to temporarily remediate this kind of issues.
