When redistributing python exe, seleniumwire ca.crt not found in temp folder

On the machine that I coded on, the chrome browser opens by selenium using the chromedriver. When I convert code to .exe it still runs the same as it would in the IDE.

When I use the .exe on another machine which still has python installed but not selenium/wire, then it runs into this problem when trying to open.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Owner\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_MEI123722\\seleniumwire\\ca.crt'

After manually putting the certificate (ca.crt) into the folder and run again, I get this problem. Note that I’m using a tkinter button to start the browser so that’s why the _MEI123722 doesn’t change. If I did reload the program then it changes to something like _MEI123801

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Owner\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\_MEI123722\\seleniumwire\\ca.key'

How can I fix this so I can make my software distributable.

I’m running Windows on both machines, using python 3.9(64).

To resolve this error it’s necessary to tell pyinstaller about the two certificate files using the --add-data option when you compile the binary. This allows pyinstaller to handle the calls made by Selenium Wire when Selenium Wire first loads the certificates. (Selenium Wire uses the standard mechanism of pkgutil.get_data() to load these files internally.)

Steps:

• Create the two certificate files ca.crt and ca.key in the current working directory.
• Specify these files using --add-data when you run pyinstaller - for example:

pyinstaller --add-data 'ca.crt;seleniumwire' --add-data 'ca.key;seleniumwire' --onefile my_prog.py

(where my_prog.py is the name of your script - change as appropriate.)

You can discard the two local certificate files once the binary has been built.

If running on Mac/Linux, use a : for the separator, e.g. --add-data 'ca.crt:seleniumwire'

Solved the issue lol. The proper script for windows is pyinstaller --add-data ca.crt;seleniumwire --add-data ca.key;seleniumwire --onefile does not work with the ’ added
