Error while executing my .exe made with pyinstaller

Question

I made a little program that uses selenium web driver in python. My program works fine when running on spyder. Then i use pyinstaller to do the exe

pyinstaller ./main.py --onefile --noconsole --add-binary "./driver/chromedriver.exe;./driver"

But then can't launch it, I got this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

[28052] Failed to execute script 'noto' due to unhandled exception!

So indeed, I don't have this directory because selenium is installed in this path: C:\Users\Mon nom\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote and i have the getAttribute.js file.

Does somebody have an idea ? :)

Answer 1

just add

--collect-data selenium

option to your pyinstaller command line,

so it should be like:

pyinstaller ./main.py  --collect-data selenium  --onefile --noconsole --add-binary "./driver/chromedriver.exe;./driver"
