cx_Freeze application gives a strange error

Question

I am trying to make my selenium project(that scrapes some data from a website and converting it into a sheets file) into an .exe file using cx_Freeze. When I run the setup.py file it is successfully build me an .exe file but when Im trying to run it I get this error:

this is My setup.py code:

import sys
import os.path
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable


# Dependencies are automatically detected, but it might need fine tuning.
# "packages": ["os"] is used as example only
build_exe_options = {"packages": ['gspread',
                                  'oauth2client.service_account',
                                  'selenium',
                                  'selenium.webdriver',
                                  'selenium.webdriver.chrome.service',
                                  'webdriver_manager.chrome'],
                     "include_files": ['Dates.txt', 'credentials.json']
                     }

# base="Win32GUI" should be used only for Windows GUI app
base = None
if sys.platform == "win32":
    base = "Win32GUI"

setup(
    name="PerfumesTOSheets",
    version="0.1",
    description="Converts a website UI into sheets doc",
    options={"build_exe": build_exe_options},
    executables=[Executable("main.py", base=base)]
)

and this is my main.py code which is working successfully:

Does anyone knows how to fix this error?

Answer 1

Try leaving the base == None, it crashes for me when it is set to "Win32GUI"
