[Paraview] pvpython script fails on Paraview 5.0.1

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Bishwajit,

Just remove the "SetScaleArray" invocation from your script to over
this issue. I suspect you're building the GUI with
VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND cmake variable set to OpenGL2, while with 5.0.1,
it may be defaulting to OpenGL, as a result your Mesa build is using
legacy OpenGL backend. This is causing mismatch in available
parameters of the representations.
