I have a pathfinding maze program that uses the Pygame module, and for whatever reason whenever I run the pyinstaller --onefile argument, I get Failed to execute script main. I moved all my assets over to the new folder so it's not that. I also don't have any fonts in my code.

Exact command I'm running: pyinstaller main.py --onefile --noconsole If I run it withouth the --onefile, it works perfectly.

If you remove the `--noconsole` but keep `--onefile` and run the executable via the command line, do you get any useful output? – Stephen Jul 01 '21 at 20:39
It gives me an error: `No such file or directory.`. Strange it only says that if I don't include `--noconsole` – DJLaser Jul 01 '21 at 20:48

Do you have any path references in your files? Those tend to break when using --onefile – James Jul 01 '21 at 20:56
Yes actually, I'll try removing them. – DJLaser Jul 01 '21 at 21:02
Thank you that worked – DJLaser Jul 01 '21 at 21:17
