[Paraview] Status of BoxLib AMR reader

Mon Aug 29 12:06:38 EDT 2016

Utkarash,

Thanks, I had added it to the xml file, but I didn't reconfigure (just rebuilt) so it didn't get added to the list.

I'm making some progress it seems, it is picking the right reader now. But it is crashing with a rather unhelpful message:

ERROR: In /data4/PVBoxLibTest/paraview/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Core/vtkSIProxy.cxx, line 310
vtkSISourceProxy (0x3e87420): Failed to create vtkVisItBoxlib2DReader. Aborting for debugging purposes.

I thought compiling with a Debug build type would give more verbose messages, but it's the same.

Is there documentation or suggestions on debugging paraview? Is there a way to get more verbose output on why it isn't able to create the reader?

Thanks again,

Tim

Tim,

Did you also add it to visit_readers.xml [1]? The proxy definition should also have a  <hints> section like so [2].

I took a stab at adding the Boxlib reader from the visit source to the VisitBridge internal readers. I managed to get everything to compile and link, Paraview built fine, but I can't seem to figure out how to make Paraview aware the reader exists.

There isn't an option for Boxlib in the dropdown for the file type when I try to open a file, and it doesn't appear as an available reader when I try to select the file -- although all the others from the VisitBridge appear. I missed a configuration file somewhere to make the file loading aware of the reader.

Any suggestions on what I missed? I added a section in the Utilities/VisItBridge/databases/visit_readers.xml file, but that wasn't enough I guess.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi Utkarsh,

I just checked with the latest head of the git repo and when I compile with the VisitBridge, there are no readers for BoxLib built.

This page lists it as supported: http://www.paraview.org/ParaView/index.php/VisIt_avt_Integration

But then this later one doesn't include it: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/VisIt_Database_Bridge

I have a dataset for you, I will send it off-list.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

I am not exactly sure what's the status of the reader, but I can
certainly look it up. Do you have a sample dataset also to test that
it's working (or not)?
