reactjs - doc and xlsx file is not getting downloaded in React application using window.open

Question

I have an Issue while download .doc and .xlsx file from response url. We have used below code and Its working fine in IE.

window.open(documentUrl,'_blank');

I am getting this documentUrl from backend call using axios.

It is not working in Chrome browser tab in which application is opened.If I open new tab and put the above code in console then Its working fine.

Below is sample code snippet,

getDocumentUrl = (reportData) =>{
      this.setState({loader:true});
      if(reportData.documentUrl == null){
            GetAlertsService.getDocumentUrl(reportData.reportId).then((resp) =>{
                if(resp.status == 200){
                    this.setState({loader:false});
                    window.open(resp.data.result.documentUrl,'_blank');
                }
            }).catch((error) =>{
                this.setState({loader:false});
                console.log("Error in getting document url")
            })
      }

    }

Can anybody have Idea about such Issue?
