paraview built from source crashes loading silo file

ParaView Support

Hi all.

I am using Paraview 5.11 that I built from source in a linux cluster. I have some silo files and in order to read load them in Paraview, I configured the cmake file enabling the options PARAVIEW_USE_VISITBRIDGE and VISIT_BUILD_READER_Silo

I tested with multiple silo files and it seems to work with some datasets, but it crashes with others (this one for example) Here is the error log:

ERROR: In vtkVisItSiloReader.cxx, line 135
vtkVisItSiloReader (0xa29a950): There was an error opening /data/light/amr3d_wmrgtree.silo. It may be an invalid file.

ERROR: In vtkExecutive.cxx, line 740

Loading this dataset in a prebuild Paraview 5.11 executable loads the file without any issues.

Any thoughts ? Thank you for the help in advance.

I confirm that there is a regression between 5.11.1 and master. Please open an issue here:

Ideally, since you are able to build paraview, you could bisect ParaView/VTK/ViSit to identify the commit causing the regression.

Hello Mathieu,
Thank you for checking this. Is it possible for you to help me pointing me to the specific commit?

Well, no. I’m suggesting that you could bisect to find out which commit causes it.
