ParaView service is not compatible with ParaView versions above 5.2 #146

Closed SmithRWORNL closed 7 years ago

SmithRWORNL commented 7 years ago

The ParaView service will hang without launching when on a Fedora machine, but not on other Linux installs such as CentOS.

SmithRWORNL commented 7 years ago

This seems to be caused by Fedora 25 not having the PYTHONPATH set correctly when pvpython is run. For now, it can be fixed by manually adding necessary paths to the PYTHONPATH (run pvpython http_pvw_server.py to get an error message for what import is failing, then do pip install to get the path to where it is installed, and repeat until the script runs.)

We need to add this to the documentation and/or fix our script so that it can always find the correct modules.

It seems the real issue wasn't the operating system (which was a coincidence), but that ParaView 5.3 has removed some scripts (wamp.py and protocols.py) that are necessary to run the server script. We need to investigate a new version of the script that is compatible with the new ParaView version.

Currently, ParaView 5.2 is the last working version.

You should probably contact Kitware...

This was resolved when Kitware re-added these scripts to their 5.3 version releases.
