Description

Hello, I've built an app with eel and now I'm trying to make an executable from it. But if I try to disable the console it doesn't start and shows the following error:

error

I'm using this command: python -m eel app.py web --onefile --noconsole --splash splash.png

and from python I just runeel.start('index.html')

I tried to redirect sys.stderr and sys.stdout to a StringIO or a PIPE but still the error popup. I'm on windows and the app runs with Chrome.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the noconsole flag handling in the Eel bundling command, trace the error popup cause, and check for any missing console redirection in the generated executable.
