Originally assigned to: @brentvollebregt on GitHub.

Quick Checks

I have read/searched in the help post
I have searched other issues, looking for an issue similar to mine
[Not Applicable] I have made sure my application/script runs before trying to package

Describe the bug
When running auto-py-to-exe, the UI is stuck on the "Initializing..." spinner.

See screenshot:

The console contains no errors but Chrome's DevTools has this error:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: o.choices.map is not a function
    at interface.js:182:23
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at _createSubSectionInAdvanced (interface.js:102:13)
    at interface.js:378:9
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at constructAdvancedSection (interface.js:377:22)
    at initialise.js:76:5

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (install dependencies, do this in the auto-py-to-exe UI):

Install auto-py-to-exe using pip
Validate PyInstaller 5.8.0 is installed (this was released 14hrs ago at the time of writing)
Run auto-py-to-exe

On step 3, the error will appear

Expected behavior

The "Initializing..." spinner should disappear.

Your Environment:

Python version (python --version): 3.9.9
auto-py-to-exe version (pip show auto-py-to-exe): 2.29.0
PyInstaller version (pip show pyinstaller): 5.8.0
Eel version (pip show eel): 0.14.0

It appears the choices passed from PyInstaller are no longer an array and is now a dictionary. A .map in JavaScript will no longer iterate over the values.

This has been caused from this PR: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/7414/files

@TalkLounge the call o.choices.map doesn't exist on the current master branch - this commit removed it.

When you execute auto-py-to-exe --version, what do you get back?

Seemed to be an cache issue. Reinstalling python fixed it for me

@AnonymousCoderArtist, from what I can see, this is not happening on the latest auto-py-to-exe and pyinstaller. Please check you are using the latest versions.

If this is still happening on the latest versions for you, please create a new issue and list the versions you are using in the issue template.
