pyautogui problem integration when generating .exe with pyinstaller

Question

I have a problem with a program that uses Selenium to manipulate the web and integrates a class we created that encapsulates the use of pyautogui to simulate key pressing.

When I run the program in VSC, there’s no error, but when I generate the .exe using pyinstaller and then run the program, the part that uses pyautogui just doesn’t work. I also tried to use other libraries such as keyboard or pywinauto, but it’s the same story.

The piece of code that fails looks like this:

def download_salesforce_reports():
 '''
 Downloads the reports from Salesforce based on the list of codes of excel file, and
 '''
 
 global keyboard, screen_controller
 
 file_path = global_config['excel_file']
 current_sheet = 'Sheet1'
 wbc = WebController("Google")
 if "chromedriver.exe" not in os.listdir(os.getcwd()):
 wbc.downloadWebDriver()
 wbc.startWindow(url="https://example-url.com")
 
 # Obtains the info of the codes to pass as input in Salesforce
 list_numero_cuentas = get_codes_list(file_path, current_sheet, 'Funda empaque')
 list_numero_cuentas_pdfs = []
 for num_cuenta in list_numero_cuentas:
 # Update current_report data to show in UI
 global_config['status']['current_report'] = num_cuenta
 
 # Select input, write code and press Enter
 screen_controller.see_image_and_click(f'{global_config["path_dir_img_salesforce"]}\01円.png')
 time.sleep(1)
 keyboard.press_hot_key('ctrl', 'a')
 keyboard.press_key('delete')
 
 time.sleep(1.5)
 keyboard.write_text(num_cuenta)
 time.sleep(1.5)
 keyboard.press_key('down')

As you can see, I created classes that encapsulate pyautogui (keyboard object) and Selenium (WebController) methods, and while the Selenium logic works correctly, the part of using the keyboard just doesn’t work when I run my created .exe file. No errors are indicated; instead, the console indicates the execution of that code part is correct, but the problem is that it just doesn’t work.

The command that I use to create the .exe is this one:

pyinstaller --onefile --hidden-import python --add-data "web;web" --add-data "python/config.py;python" --add-data "python/;python" --add-data "python/download_reports.py;python" --hidden-import comtypes.stream python/main.py

I would be very thankful if someone can guide me or tell me if they see something wrong here.
