I'm trying to create a standalone executable file out of simple qt project.
I do not come across any issues when passing the relative path to 'Ui'.
However if I try to create a standalone executable file out of the project by providing the following command
PyInstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data "C:\***\***\ui;ui" app.py
This command creates an executable file. The resulting program crashes immediately due to the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 11, in <module>
File "ui\__init__.py", line 7, in __init__
self.__ui_file = uic.loadUi(path, self)
File "PyQt5\uic\__init__.py", line 238, in loadUi
File "PyQt5\uic\Loader\loader.py", line 66, in loadUi
File "PyQt5\uic\uiparser.py", line 1020, in parse

File "xml\etree\ElementTree.py", line 584, in parse
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'ui\\test.ui'
I do not know the cause of that problem but I expect it to be an issue regarding the relative path. Can anybody help me?
