[Paraview] CVSwriter functionality change between 3.10.1 and 3.12?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Joshua,

You're missing a call to UpdatePipeline() before the CreateWriter()
call. I'm trying to decide what's the best strategy, i.e. ParaView
should call UpdatePIpeline() automatically, for the upcoming release.
