ca cert not found for compiled python script

[CheemaOTB]

I compiled a python script that was using selenium wire so that my friend could use it but he gets this error.

My dirty solution: add ca.crt and ca.key from https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire/tree/master/seleniumwire in soft AppData folder

Did you put it in this directory "C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming"?

@CheemaOTB Hello, I am also hearing from some users that they are experiencing the same issue. Where should ca.crt and ca.key be placed?

Solution

Make the Pyinstaller include seleniumwire's ca.crt and ca.key manually.

Using pyi-makespec, we can create and edit a .spec file to inject here a list of dependent static resources. (See, Using Spec Files)

For example, this code is injecting the dependant resources to the datas argument when creating an Analysis object.

from os.path import join, dirname, abspath, split
from os import sep
import glob
import seleniumwire

pkg_dir = split(seleniumwire.__file__)[0]
pkg_data = []
pkg_data.extend((file, dirname(file).split("site-packages")[1]) for file in glob.iglob(join(pkg_dir,"**{}*".format(sep)), recursive=True))

a = Analysis([f'..{os.sep}qtmain.py'],
             pathex=['F:\\repositories\\corona-virus-vaccine-reservation'],
             binaries=[],
             datas=pkg_data,
             hiddenimports=[],

(Here the actual code.)

Then, finally, we can build an executable file from the .spec file with a command like pyinstaller foobar.spec.
