mechanicalsoup is not redirecting to where it shou

Question

I am trying to make a webscraping bot that logs into https://adelbert.magister.net/ so that I can scrap data in the website after logging in.

My code:

import mechanicalsoup
browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser(
    soup_config={'features': 'lxml'},
    raise_on_404=True,
    user_agent='bot',
)

browser.open("https://adelbert.magister.net/")
print(browser.get_url())

If you visit the page in your normal browser it redirects to a URL that looks like this: https://accounts.magister.net/account/login?sessionId=6aa0c7f9387a4b4b8acea413446d918c&returnUrl=%2Fconnect%2Fauthorize%2Fcallback%3Fclient_id%3DM6-adelbert.magister.net%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fadelbert.magister.net%252Foidc%252Fredirect_callback.html%26response_type%3Did_token%2520token%26scope%3Dopenid%2520profile%2520magister.ecs.legacy%2520magister.mdv.broker.read%2520magister.dnn.roles.read%26state%3D505f79f6dc244b8ba45daaa215709ac0%26nonce%3D49d332e1fb2e499fb2a17bcd37d756a4%26acr_values%3Dtenant%253Aadelbert.magister.net#!/gebruikersnaam

How can I get it on the good page so that I can make the program login with mechanicalsoup?

This is the same question as posted Here but no one has answered that post. Please help me.

The redirect is done using JavaScript. MechanicalSoup won't help with JavaScript (see MechanicalSoup's FAQ).
