Summary0009710: Python Shell's Trace State fails to create ready-to-use Python script if ExodusIIReader is involved
DescriptionOpen test dataset can.ex2
Tools - Python Shell - Trace - Trace State - Save Trace (=> foo.py)
pvpython foo.py

=> will raises error messages like
vtkExodusFileSeriesReader (0x909f360): No files given.
vtkExodusFileSeriesReader (0x909f360): Expecting at least 1 file. Cannot proceed.

It is necessary to remove all three keywords
 FilePrefix
 FilePattern
 XMLFileName
from the argument list of the ExodusIIReader call in the python script:
Leaving one of them raises an error.
Leaving any permutation of two of them raises an error.

Pat confirmed that somehow the pvsm avoids the problem, but not python state.

    Fixed BUG 0009710.
    
    ExodusIIReader has bunch of properties with FileListDomain. Only 1 of which is
    not-optional and that's the one that should be set by the user -- typically.
    However when state file was loaded, the FilePrefix etc. properties were saved in
    state and as they were updated the reader would prematurely call
    UpdatePipelineInformation() resulting in the errors. Fixed by avoiding the
    FileNameProperty() creation for secondary file-name properties.

=======================
Pending migration to release branch

Trusting Utkarsh's fix. I am having troubles with my pvpython.
