I am follow IvanSanchez's snakeIn to draw each marker after each polyline.

The code has been modified such as

   var markers = [[63.5, 11],
    [40.5, -3.5],
    [51.5, -0.5],
    [52.3, 4.75],
    [39.5, -0.5]];

   var route = L.featureGroup().addTo(map);

   var n = markers.length;

   for (var i = 0; i < n-1; i++) {
        var marker = new L.Marker(markers[i]);
        var line = new L.polyline([markers[i],markers[i+1]]);
        route.addLayer(marker);
        route.addLayer(line);
    };
   route.addLayer(new L.Marker(markers[n-1]));

   map.fitBounds(route.getBounds());

I have been trying to play with Leaflet popup, where I can bindpopup for each marker. My question is how can I make each popup automatically open when its marker is drawn, then it will automatically close when the next marker is drawn, and so on...

In Leaflet, every layer (including the markers) has an add event which fires when it's added to the map.

Internally, the code for Leaflet.Polyline.SnakeAnim removes and adds layers from a LayerGroup when a snaking animation runs; this means that layers which are snaking in will fire an add event.

Additionally, a LayerGroup (or FeatureGroup) running a snaking animation will fire a snake event every time a new layer is snaked in. Note, however, that this event does not have a reference to the just-snaked-in layer.

So something like:

marker1.on('add', function(){
    // Open popup for marker 1
});

You also say:

then it will automatically close when the next marker is drawn,

First read the docs for L.Map.openPopup, and then:

marker1.on('add', function(){
    map.openPopup( popupForMarker1 );
});

I asked myself the question and here is how I proceeded based on the answer of IvanSanchez and the doc https://leafletjs./index.html#map-openpopup

const marker = L.marker(L.latLng(this.location.lat, this.location.lng), {
  icon,
  title: this.location.name,
})
  .bindPopup(this.location.content)
  .on('add', function () {
    marker.openPopup();
  });
