Summary0016005: Trace recorder fails for CTH data
DescriptionThe trace recorder fails for CTH data. I am going to create two sections for this bug - what is currently failing, and the test that needs to work, when this first bug is fixed.

Current bug:
* 5.0.0, Linux, local server.
* Start trace.
* Open Dave's small CTH dataset (four files). All vars on. Apply.
* Optionally, you may want to turn visibility off in the pipeline browser for Markers and Tracers.
* Stop trace.
* Save as macro (or any other script).
* Edit/ Reset Session.
* Run macro.

You will not get anything to show on the screen, and will get the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 39, in <module>
NameError: name 'OutputPort' is not defined

Further, if you had gotten farther with your script, you would see nothing at all after this point (such as if you had run a filter).

OK, what should work? Here is a bare minimum:
* 5.0.0, Linux, local server.
* Start trace.
* Open Dave's small CTH dataset (four files). All vars on. Apply.
* Optionally, you may want to turn visibility off in the pipeline browser for Markers and Tracers.
* Extract CTH Parts. Material Volume Fraction - 1 only. Apply.
* Select Volume data in the pipeline browser.
* Extract CTH Parts. Material Volume Fraction - 2 only. Apply.
* Paint by pressure.
* Stop trace.
* Save as macro (or any other script).
* Edit/ Reset Session.
* Run macro.

Very close, but not quite. The second block of commands works, but the first one (labeled Current bug) doesn't. It appears there is a Render() missing... This behavior is different than loading can.exo, so I believe it is not by design.

We are wondering if this has to do with my build - incremental, vs a rebuild from scratch. Attaching the python file for the first test block above (at Utkarsh's request).

Alan, try hitting reset camera. Does that work? You're right a render is missing. But we deliberately added a commented out line to the generate trace saying "uncomment the following to render all views".

I believe we did that since in several cases when people generate these traces for writing images etc, calling this extra render and the end in unnecessary.

Reset camera works.

The issue I have with this bug/feature is that it acts differently than reading exodus data. That isn't right, is it?

Changing to ToDo, Utkarsh is going to add a Render after any GUI based macros or scripts.
