How to package the robot file (.robot) from PyInstaller #5081

Open nba2023 opened 4 months ago

Python version: Python 3.6.9 Robot Framework version: 4.1.3 PyInstaller Version: 4.10 OS: Linux 5.4.0-77-generic x86~18.04.1-Ubuntu

My purpose is to package the source code from here (https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation). And I create an entry point by .py (loop_test.py) to execute target test case in .robot. Then run following packaging command: pyinstaller -D -n openbmc_robot tools/multiple-rounds/loop_test.py --distpath dist/openbmc_robot --add-data "./docs/**:docs" --add-data "./test_files/**:test_files" --add-data "./test_lists/**:test_lists" The executable command as follows: ./openbmc_robot -c "-i 2.1.1" -n test And get these errors:

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 4: Resource file '../lib/ipmi_client.robot' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 5: Resource file '../lib/openbmc_ffdc.robot' does not exist.

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 9: Test library '../lib/ipmi_utils.py' does not exist.

Is there any way to package the robot file to run or only package .py file for now?

Usually, you can embed "resources" (files that are not Python) in your bundles. I never used PyInstaller directly (only indirectly). Would --add-data work for you ?

Additional non-binary files or folders to be added to the executable. [...]
