Pyinstaller "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:" 运行应用程序时

Question

I recently have packaged a python app using the pyinstaller --onefile command. It succesfully makes a executable file that launches fine. I can use pretty much almost all the functions in my script with no problem, except one. When I call a function of another python file (which is in my app folder), I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "socketserver.py", line 647, in process_request_thread
  File "socketserver.py", line 357, in finish_request
  File "socketserver.py", line 717, in __init__

The problem seems to be that pyinstaller cant properly find the files(icon.png and ga.hunk.html). These files are in a folder that is in the same folder as my main.py file. I was wondering how I can make pyinstaller find these files succesfully? I have tried to add to the datas class in the .spec file, but I still get the error. This is what that line looks like: datas=[('/Users/A/Desktop/ss/CaptchaHarvester/harvester/server/icon.png','/Users/A/Desktop/ss/CaptchaHarvester/harvester/server')], Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or if yall have any ideas on how to resolve it.

I am on macosx catalina and python 3.7 if that is any help.

Thanks!

You can use arguments in command prompt to ensure the correct filesare found by pyinstaller; --add-data "path_to_file:path_in_executable in directory" an example would be

pyinstaller --add-data "icon.png;." --onefile socketserver.py

here icon.png is in the same directoy of socketserver.py and is copied to the root directory of the executable (the . signifies root directory)
