Pyinstaller - failed to execute script when code includes Selenium webdriver

Question

My .exe file does not run when my code includes Selenium - webdriver.

Here is my code (i named my script test.py):

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
url = "https://google.com/"
driver.get(url)

Then i run this on Powershell:

pyinstaller test.py

or this:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed test.py

But when i try to run the test.exe file, i am getting the failed to execute script error.

I am on Win 10, Python 3.7 and latest PyInstaller (3.5).

I tried this solution:

pyinstaller one file --no-console does not work "Fatal Error"

but it didn't work. Note that when i use pyinstaller with a code that does not include Selenium, everything is fine so far.

Can you please advise?

Thanks.

Why you are getting this error because your script can't find gecko driver to execute script so you need to paste geckodriver in your file directory
