ParaView 5.5.2 is bundling Visualizer 3.1.4 which is not fully compatible with the core of ParaView 5.5.2.

Therefore a small edit will be required in order to make them work together.  
That issue does not exist with ParaView/master and Visualizer 3.1.4.  
For more information, please refer to the [compatibility table](https://kitware.github.io/visualizer/docs/compatibility.html).

In order to patch your ParaView 5.5.2 so it can work with the bundled Visualizer you will have to edit line `195` of the `pvw-visualizer.py` file which can be found below for each platform:

- Windows:
  - ParaView-5.5.2-Qt5-Windows-64bit\share\paraview-5.5\web\visualizer\server\pvw-visualizer.py

- Linux:
  - ParaView-5.5.2-Qt5-MPI-Linux-64bit/share/paraview-5.5/web/visualizer/server/pvw-visualizer.py

- macOS:
  - ParaView-5.5.2.app/Contents/Resources/web/visualizer/server/pvw-visualizer.py

Replace Line 195

```auto
self.registerVtkWebProtocol(pv_protocols.ParaViewWebColorManager(pathToColorMaps=_VisualizerServer.colorPalette, showBuiltin=_VisualizerServer.showBuiltin))

```

with

```auto
self.registerVtkWebProtocol(pv_protocols.ParaViewWebColorManager(pathToColorMaps=_VisualizerServer.colorPalette))

```

Basically the extra `showBuiltin` argument needs to be removed as the server does not know how to handle it.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
