Email from paraview email list from B.W.H. van Beest bwvb@xs4all.nl:
I think there is a bug in the plugin example in ../ParaView/Examples/Plugin/Representation (Paraview 4.2)
As given, loading the plugin manually, and then creating a new source (e.g. Box) causes Paraview to crash with the error message:
ERROR: In /usr/local/git/ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Core/vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager.cxx, line 565 vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager (0x265ebb0): No proxy that matches: group=representations and proxy=SurfaceRepresentationBase were found.
ERROR: In /usr/local/git/ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Core/vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager.cxx, line 989 vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager (0x265ebb0): Failed to locate base proxy definition (representations, SurfaceRepresentationBase). Aborting for debugging purposes.
Abort
The error seems to be in the file Representation.xml, where the attribute base_proxyname is set to "SurfaceRepresentationBase", which should be "SurfaceRepresentation" according to the documentation in http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_new_Representations_for_3D_View_using_Plugins_.2A_new_in_version_3.7
When I make the change, recompile the plugin and load in into Paraview, there is no longer the above crash when I create a new Box, and the representation "Special Mapper" feautures in the Representationnn combobox.
