I had a similar issue.
INFO: Appending 'datas' from .spec Unable to find 'C:\Users\ ... \RootFolder\export.png' when adding binary and data files.
My code was:
QAction(QIcon(resource_path("AppImages\\Theme\\Dark\\export.png")), "Export Config", self)
resource_path is a function from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72060275/26503307
Firstly, I tried
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --windowed --add-data "export.png:AppImages/Theme/Dark" ... my.py
Then changed to:
--add-data "AppImages/Theme/Dark/export.png:AppImages/Theme/Dark/"
it solved my problem. So I think you need to use the path as it declared in your code. I think it should be something like this (however, I am not sure about regex part (*.json)):
("\venv\Lib\site-packages\branca\*.json", "\venv\Lib\site-packages\branca"),
