Python version: Python 3.6.9
Robot Framework version: 4.1.3
PyInstaller Version: 4.10
OS: Linux 5.4.0-77-generic x86~18.04.1-Ubuntu

My purpose is to package the source code from here (https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation).
And I create an entry point by .py (loop_test.py) to execute target test case in .robot.
Then run following packaging command:
pyinstaller -D -n openbmc_robot tools/multiple-rounds/loop_test.py --distpath dist/openbmc_robot --add-data "./docs/**:docs" --add-data "./test_files/**:test_files" --add-data "./test_lists/**:test_lists"
The executable command as follows:
./openbmc_robot -c "-i 2.1.1" -n test
And get these errors:

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 4: Resource file '../lib/ipmi_client.robot' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 5: Resource file '../lib/openbmc_ffdc.robot' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 6: Variable file '../data/ipmi_raw_cmd_table.py' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 7: Variable file '../data/ipmi_variable.py' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 8: Test library '../lib/bmc_network_utils.py' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/openbmc/ipmi/test_ipmi_general.robot' on line 9: Test library '../lib/ipmi_utils.py' does not exist.

Is there any way to package the robot file to run or only package .py file for now?

Usually, you can embed "resources" (files that are not Python) in your bundles. I never used PyInstaller directly (only indirectly).
Would --add-data work for you ?

Additional non-binary files or folders to be added to the executable. [...]

Sorry, cannot help you with this one. I know users have created one file distributions, but I don't know have they included test data. I recommend you to ask help on our Slack or Forum. This tracker is for bug reports and enhancement request so I close this issue.
