Python .exe containing alive progress bar error (FileNotFound)

I converted my .py file which contains the alive progress bar package https://pypi.org/project/alive-progress/ into a .exe for windows using the pyinstaller command pyinstaller --console . I however receive an error when I run the program. It runs fine until the alive bar is called and then it prints out the error below.

CLI Just add grapheme data like pyinstaller -F "Hello World.py" --collect-all grapheme

If you are using .spec file to generate exe - it's similar to what @Pluckerpluck said but you would need to include this file like this

datas=[(r"C:\Source\venv\Lib\site-packages\grapheme", "grapheme/")]

If you add this in your .spec file. It works.

A shorter alternative to what @Pluckerpluck has suggested would be using --collect-data grapheme instead of --add-data <...>.

alive-progress uses a library called grapheme. This library requires a JSON file which you will have to manually specify when using PyInstaller.

In my case, I had it under .venv so the command to make this work was:

pyinstaller -F --add-data ".\.venv\Lib\site-packages\grapheme\data\grapheme_break_property.json;grapheme\data" my_file.py

Note that the argument --add-data takes both a source and a target directory (which we set to grapheme\data)

I will warn you however, that the default terminal doesn't have the fonts capable of actually displaying the progress bar. It works, but it doesn't look pretty. If you run the .exe from a proper terminal though with the font support, it works just fine after this.
