How to solve the unexpected pyinstaller exception "pyqt5_plugins distribution was not found"?

Question

I wrote a window application using the PyQt5 library. After compiling by "pyinstaller" when trying to run the exe file, the following error occurs:

I tried to reinstall pyqt5_plugins library, compile the program without the "--windowed" option, or remove errors from the "warn-main.txt" file, nothing helped. Has anyone encountered such a problem?

Answer 1

Use

--copy-metadata pyqt5_plugins --copy-metadata qt5_tools --copy-metadata qt5_applications --hidden-import qt5_tools --collect-submodules qt5_applications --collect-submodules pyqt5_plugins

EDIT:
For me I need several copy-metadata and collect-submodules to work.
