[Paraview] Loading XML configuration file from pvpython

[Gallagher, Timothy P]

Hello,


I have a programmable filter that is wrapped into a custom plugin using an XML configuration file. If I use the GUI and go to the Manage Plugins and load it, everything is fine.


However, I can't figure out how to load it inside pvpython. I am trying to do:


servermanager.ProxyManager().LoadConfigurationXML("/path/to/my_plugin.xml")
servermanager.updateModules(servermanager)

but that gives me:

ERROR: In ParaView/VTK/IO/XMLParser/vtkXMLParser.cxx, line 483
vtkPVXMLParser (0x2cb9b80): Error parsing XML in stream at line 1, column 0, byte index 0: not well-formed (invalid token)

I looked through the header files and the C++ classes have a LoadConfigurationXML, which takes a vtkPVXMLElement, and a LoadConfigurationXMLFromString which takes a const char pointer. I can call the former, but the latter does not seem to be exposed through the python interface.

Is it not possible to pass the file name in as the argument here like it is with LoadCustomProxyDefinitions()? Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

Tim
