🔒 Please help, problem with running .exe file

[acoustic maple]

I've made .py program which should work as a test for students. After I transit it as an .exe file (it's required), it doesn't launch, some empty console opens and then closes in a second. I'll show the code and whatever you'll ask.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Discord bot says me the message is too long, so ask me in dm for my code, if you're gonna help

[hollow stream]

You should paste the code and copy the url and send it here

[acoustic maple]

Alright, hold on

this one?

[hollow stream]

Yh

I dont know how to help with you code but wanted to let you know how to upload your code

Do you know someone who could help? I mean I'm in a bit hurry, it's very important

[hollow stream]

I think all we can do is wait for someone to help us

Open the exe via the console manually - because the "quickly flashing console" is showing the error, but because the program is finished, the console closes. If you open the console yourself, it won't close when the program finishes, so you'll be able to see the error

[acoustic maple]

How to do it?

[native ledge]

Also, why is the requirement to give it to students as an exe?

[acoustic maple]

Well, I mean it's supposed to be "a programm with some easy interface", not just in console. That's why I thought it'll work good in .exe

Is there other ways to do it?

[native ledge]

Honest question: How are you coding in python and not know how to open a console manually and run something in there?
Coding in python, you had to open cmd or powershell and run scripts, didn't you? It's the same, but just tell console to run filename.exe instead of py filename.py

[acoustic maple]

Because I missed my course and trying to do individually.

Also, I code in Python, using VisualCode

[acoustic maple]

And yes, I used PowerShell as a console, if that's what you've meant

[native ledge]

Then you should learn python basics first, where basic operations in terminal are needed.
Even in visual studio code, there's a terminal at the bottom

[acoustic maple]

Yes, I know bro, but that's the point, I have very limited time

For now my first position is to get this work done

[native ledge]

Then open the terminal and run the exe, and give us the error

[acoustic maple]

Sure, hold on

[native ledge]

Or since you missed your class, ask your teacher for extension on the task... Unless it was already long time to get it working and you're doing it last minute

[native ledge]

ls
Please

Seems like the exe is either different name or not here at all

ls is powershell binding for listing files in current directory

[acoustic maple]

But I showed you, it's on the screenshot, "Test_OS_22"

[native ledge]

Ah, I read only the red part. The bottom in grey actually tells you how to run it

[acoustic maple]

I see, lemme try

Some big process launched, and that's what it says in the end

Also, I tried to launch .exe code again, now this time it scrolled some codes and also closed itself

No pause

[sour garnet]

So what else is it supposed to do?
It looks like the JSON file is there. The code just loads it then ends

[acoustic maple]

I don't really understand, but I thought we're launching .exe file manualy

It still doesn't

Also interesting moment, some tries ago, when I made test version with 2 questions, the program worked

Since I changed it to 22 questions, it's just doesn't work

So anyone knows what to do?

[sour garnet]

What happens if you delete the JSON file and run the exe again?

[acoustic maple]

Will let you know

[acoustic maple]

It scrolls some programs in console again, closes it, and creates new JSON file

[sour garnet]

So the program works?

[acoustic maple]

Ummm

No?

By the code, my program should work as .exe file with interface, when there tests and you click on answers

But it doesn't even launch anymore

[sour garnet]

The code you posted does not use tkinter at all though

[acoustic maple]

I took it from chat gpt

And again, it worked just today, I've had launched the program which has basic interface and allows me to take tests

So what actually happened is a big mystery to me

[sour garnet]

Did you paste all of the code into the link above? Like I said there is no code that uses tkinter so no GUI will open

[acoustic maple]

Yes, that's the full code. But wait, I think I'm gonna change something

I'll let you know

[native ledge]

The code from here just loads the questions and doesn't start any gui, just as Wolfy said - so the exe works exactly like the code said.

My guess is that when adding more questions, you deleted the code below that.

[acoustic maple]

Seems like that, I'm trying to recheck, thank you

[acoustic maple]

Alright everyone, so everything works now

I have the exact program I tried to make

Thanks for everyone who helped

Seems like I lost huge fucking part of a code
