Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/545

Describe the bug
I used SET SPOTIPY_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:8888/
And I also set the same uri in the developer dashboard settings with no discrepancies.
The port of my flask app is 8888.
When I run my code and open the uri http://127.0.0.1:8888/ the sign in button is visible.
But when I click on the button it opens the Spotify Auth uri in another tab and the tab does not fully load. It opens another Spotify Auth tab again and again until I shut down the server.
I expect this to be a problem on my part as I am new to Oauth2 but I've been searching for a fix with no avail.

Your code
My code is the same as the app.py with an adjustment. The client id, secret and the redirect url are ENV variables.
I added this line to the end
if __name__ == '__main__': app.run(port=8888)

At the time of running I wouldn't know the username of the user and I am unsure of how to implement a cache system so I set
check_cache=False in the oauth2.py file.

Expected behavior
The normal auth procedure.

Output

app.py:30: DeprecationWarning: You're using 'as_dict = True'.get_access_token will return the token string directly in future versions. Please adjust your code accordingly, or use get_cached_token instead.

@AbhayAysola we should be merging a fix for that soon, but you can already use the code that is there https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/pull/539

Thank you. It worked perfectly. I'm glad it's not a rookie mistake from my side.
