The way Oauth2 works your application needs to request permission of a user to access their data. To do that we show them a consent form. Your script is telling you that
console.log('Authorize this app by visiting this (Google login) url: ', authUrl);
getAnswerOn("Enter the long code from that page here:").then(answer => {
As seen here
Authorize this app by visiting this (Google login) url: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?access_type=offline&scope=...
Take the full URL it gives you. Put it in a web browser consent to the access it will give you an authorization code. Take this code back and place it in your application where it is waiting for it.
Your application isnt hanging its waiting for you to respond to its request.
