I’m having problems getting PySide2/QWebEngineView to work on windows with PyInstaller. In short, even when just doing a very basic “Hello world” page via setHTML, nothing is ever displayed. Of course the app works properly when not run via PyInstaller.
Details: - As per the instructions at https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/How-to-Report-Bugs#make-sure-everything-is-packaged-correctly <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/How-to-Report-Bugs#make-sure-everything-is-packaged-correctly>, I am running pyinstaller in the —onesie mode, with the latest development version, from a command window, without UPX, and in debug mode - no errors of any sort are generated when running - I have a custom hook set up to collect data files for shiboken2 and PySide2: from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files datas = collect_data_files('shiboken2', include_py_files=True, subdir='support') datas += collect_data_files('PySide2', include_py_files=True, subdir='support’) - I set the “QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH” environment variable to point to the QtWebEngineProcess.exe, thus eliminating that error - I made sure my .spec file included the translations and resources directories in the proper location, thus eliminating those errors So at this point, I have cleaned up all the errors that are reported, but still don’t get any display in the QWebEngineView, even for the most basic of pages. Where can I look next? Output when running is below. $ ./dist/SO2\ Explorer/SO2\ Explorer.exe [160] PyInstaller Bootloader 3.x [160] LOADER: executable is C:\Users\Israel\Development-Win\tropomi_gui\dist\SO2 Explorer\SO2 Explorer.exe [160] LOADER: homepath is C:\Users\Israel\Development-Win\tropomi_gui\dist\SO2 Explorer [160] LOADER: _MEIPASS2 is NULL [160] LOADER: archivename is C:\Users\Israel\Development-Win\tropomi_gui\dist\SO2 Explorer\SO2 Explorer.exe [160] LOADER: No need to extract files to run; setting extractionpath to homepath [160] LOADER: SetDllDirectory(C:\Users\Israel\Development-Win\tropomi_gui\dist\SO2 Explorer) [160] LOADER: Already in the child - running user's code.
