[Paraview] Problem with WriteAnimation in a python file silently failing under pvbatch but working when called with pvpython (UNCLASSIFIED)

Hello,

I have found that pvbatch is silently failing in a python file when
WriteAnimation
is called and used with ParaView 5.2.0 under linux.

But pvpython will execute the same command from the same python file
correctly.

The call where it is failing is below

WriteAnimation('full_image_path.png', Magnification=2, FrameRate=15.0,
Compression=True)

and it is not giving any error messages, it just never returns when called
by pvbatch

Has anyone else experienced this, or have an idea of how to correct it?

Thanks,

Joe
