ttkbootstrap error when I run Auto py to exe

[LesHol]

Hi I am new to this so bear with me if this is a stupid question! I have all my files: main.py and four *.png files in the same directory. When I run this happens:

C:>auto-py-to-exe

Anyone with an idea how this can be fixed?

What are you doing to cause these messages?

If I had to guess, it looks like you are picking a file or directory and they are named with non-utf-8 characters?

[LesHol]

Hi The directory where the files are named Password Manager 2.0. Could that be it? Leslie Den fre 22 mars 2024 12:55Brent Vollebregt ***@***.***> skrev:

My first question again - what are you doing to cause these messages? Do they appear when you initially start the application or you do have to click on something?

I see these references point to this file - so it's not what's in your directory.

Also does this break the application? They look like just warnings, so could be ignored.

[LesHol]

Hi The errors appear when I run auto-py-to-exe. I notice that on the second line it says: 'Cannot change to the directory %1\$s.\nPermission denied.', I have tried to run auto as admin but that didn't work either, I still get the same errors. I changed the name of the directory with the same result.

Hi Ok maybe there is no problem with the warnings but I get an error when trying to run the app. This is my setup. Everything is in the same directory, including my *.png files. [image: bild.png] And here is the error: [image: bild.png] As you can see there are no *.png files. When I put them in this directory it works. Is it meant to work this way or do I do something wrong? Then I get another error, exit is not defined (which I saw some solution in your "common problems").

Those images have not come through - you can paste the error here.

[LesHol]

Hope this works!

[brentvollebregt]

That second screenshot has an error in it - the error takes up pretty much the whole dialog. In the help post that you hopefully read, there is a section "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory" - that gives some reasoning on why this has happened.

[LesHol]

I didn't get an errormessage at all! Are the files supposed to be copied to the output directory or incorporated in the main file? One of the times only one of the files was copied. Den fre 29 mars 2024 08:20Brent Vollebregt ***@***.***> skrev:

In your previous comment, you said "And here is the error:" - what is in the image? The image you attached did not come through - see here.

[LesHol]

Ok I have enclosed the pictures now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Med vänlig hälsning Leslie Holm 073-1802567 ***@***.*** Södra Lyngbyvägen 52 29792 Everöd Den mån 1 apr. 2024 kl 11:32 skrev Brent Vollebregt < ***@***.***>:

They still have not come through from what I can see

[LesHol]

That is very strange because I enclosed them as separate files! Could it be some security issue? Den tis 2 apr. 2024 08:11Brent Vollebregt ***@***.***> skrev:

Are you trying to send them through by email? That may be the reason. You can add them to your comments on #471

Hi I don't understand, why didn't the *.png files get copied? Am I supposed to copy them manually? In that case what are the "files"dialog supposed to do? Den ons 3 apr. 2024 06:53Brent Vollebregt ***@***.***> skrev:

I don't understand, why didn't the *.png files get copied?

This will find Python files - any extra asserts like images need to be added manually. See step 6 under "General Steps" - "Add any extra files your project requires that aren't Python files (e.g. images, csv, databases, ...)"

Am I supposed to copy them manually?

No, adding them in "Additional Files" will include them for you. I recommend packaging to "One Directory" first when adding additional files so you can see where they actually end up inside the bundle.

In that case what are the "files"dialog supposed to do?

Are you referencing the "Additional Files" section? This adds non-Python files to the bundle output.

Thank you Now I understand. Sorry about being so lazy. Now I have read all of your FAQ and it is very informative.
