Chuks, The trace missing the filename is indeed a bug. We are working on refactoring the tracing code right now, so tracing should get better in the next release.
The error you get when you explicitly set the FileName is due to the fact that the property is called FileNames and not FileName (http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/py-doc/paraview.simple.XDMFReader.html?highlight=xdmfreader#paraview.simple.XDMFReader). To overcome such issues, you can also use the OpenDataFile() (http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/py-doc/paraview.simple.html#paraview.simple.OpenDataFile) function instead: reader = OpenDataFile("....foo.xmf") Utkarsh On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 2:40 PM, Chukwudi Chukwudozie <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I recently built and installed paraview 4.1 on my mac with the intention of > doing python scripting but when I save a trace and try to run it using > pvpython, I get the following error messages.
