Issue when using open() in converted exe - skakalpes - Feb-01-2022
Hi. I'm trying to solve a critical issue that prevents to continue working on my project. I think it's something easy to solve and I'm probably just missing something obvious, however, I couldn't find the resolution online.
I'm using open() to read the file content.
move_f = open(vkode_location + "devview\\files\\stats\\stats_console.saver", "r")
print("You've opened Console " + move_f.read() + " times")
move_f.close()When I run it on my device, everything works perfectly. But when I convert it to an executable, it inserts "v" to the file location for some reason.Output:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "console.py", line 207, in <module>
result, error = vkode.run('<stdin>', text)
File "vkode.py", line 2848, in run
result = interpreter.visit(ast.node, context)
File "vkode.py", line 2527, in visit
return method(node, context)
File "vkode.py", line 2547, in visit_ListNode
elements.append(res.register(self.visit(element_node, context)))
File "vkode.py", line 2527, in visit
return method(node, context)
File "vkode.py", line 2749, in visit_CallNode
return_value = res.register(value_to_call.execute(args))
File "vkode.py", line 1708, in execute
return_value = res.register(method(exec_ctx))
File "vkode.py", line 1929, in execute_vkStats
move_f = open(vkode_location + "devview\\files\\stats\\stats_console.saver", "r")

Can you please help me?

What is the value of vkode_location? It would be interesting to know if the "v" is added there.
I don't think you are using --add-data correctly. I am more concerned that the program is trying to access "'D:\\Soubory\" than a mystery "v".

You can not use absolute path to file system outside of the build,
then point is that this shall work on other Pc that dos not have a
D:/Soubory/ folder.Pyinstaller most find
stats_console.saver in the build together with .exe.Example:
# f_read.py
with open('test.saver') as f:
print(f.read())
input('Press enter to exit')Now build like this pyinstaller --onedir --add-data "test.saver;." f_read.pyTest:
# At start files in same folder C:\code\py_file λ ls f_read.py test.saver # Build C:\code\py_file λ pyinstaller --onedir --add-data "test.saver;." f_read.py 80 INFO: PyInstaller: 4.8 80 INFO: Python: 3.10.0 99 INFO: Platform: Windows-10-10.0.19043-SP0 .... 7371 INFO: Building COLLECT COLLECT-00.toc completed successfully. # Navigate to folder # See that test.saver in build folder together with f_read.exe C:\code\py_file λ cd dist\f_read\ λ ls VCRUNTIME140.dll* _hashlib.pyd* _socket.pyd* libffi-7.dll* test.saver _asyncio.pyd* _lzma.pyd* _ssl.pyd* libssl-1_1.dll* unicodedata.pyd* _bz2.pyd* _multiprocessing.pyd* base_library.zip pyexpat.pyd* _ctypes.pyd* _overlapped.pyd* f_read.exe* python310.dll* _decimal.pyd* _queue.pyd* libcrypto-1_1.dll* select.pyd* # Test f_read.exe C:\code\py_file\dist\f_read λ f_read.exe Hello world Press enter to exit
