Summary | 0008299: Better reporting on plugin load failure | ||||||||
Description | When ParaView fails to load a plugin that is selected with the Plugin Manager, you get the mostly unhelpful message "... is not a valid Qt plugin". There are a number of things that might have gone wrong such as incompatible Qt versions, incompatible ParaView versions, mismatched debug/release builds, or missing symbols when linking. It is hard to narrow down the problem without more information. | ||||||||

We may also want to provide simple mechanisms (and/or documentation) to check components of the plugin were loaded eg. test if proxy can be created etc. |

Add information about what version of ParaView the plugin was compiled with into the plugin and use that to match the ParaView version at run-time. People often load different version plugins on different versions of ParaView which we clearly don't support. This will save us a lot of headache. |

This is going to be tricky for 3.6.2 since the current plugins don't have meta-data to compare version information etc. Unless someone objects, I am deferring this to 3.8. We need to do a revamp of plugins for 3.8 to provide for better debugging and error reporting. |

Added a PV_PLUGIN_DEBUG environment variable (following Qt's model for providing verbose errors for plugins). If this variable is set, then ParaView prints logs on the terminal which are helpful at determining why the plugin load failed. |

I THINK it's fixed. Tested local server, XP. |
