Collected data files during analysis are not part of binary

[gnanesh k p]

Hi All, 

I have a hook function written for a package which collects all (datas, binaries, HIddenImports) and my hook looks as below.

      from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_all

      datas, binaries, hiddenimports = collect_all("common")
      print(f"Common datas: {datas} ++++++++++++++")

 

When the binary gets built, from the logs I can see that it has collected all the datas from the package, however  when I view the 

final binary I do not see the data files in place. 

I am not getting what is the reason for this behavior, and how to solve this Issue.

Regards,

Gnanesh

'collect_all' simply locates the items, putting that information into its return values.  'datas' should then be used in 'EXE' to include them into a one-file, or be provided as an argument to 'COLLECT' for a one-dir.  It's easiest to see by just writing a hello-world and running 'pyinstaller --onefile/--onedir hello.py' on it, then looking where 'datas' appears in the generated .spec file.
