ParaView not working

The ParaView IT on the EU server does not work for me - it never displays the GUI. Is it working for others?

Hi @rheiland

I can reproduce this. The tool seems to start up, and even if I go into the Interactive Tools listing and open the tab, nothing ever is populated. I let mine run for a full hour to see what happens and I’ll share it here for the EU team to look at → Galaxy. ping @wm75 is this known? Thanks!

So from what I’m hearing from others this has either never worked or stopped working years ago, and there simply has not been any demand for fixing it.

I cannot promise that this will change any time soon, but if so, I’ll report back here.

Good to know! Let’s merge the prior question into here too to close it out. insight using Paraview interactive tool

@rheiland Can you maybe elaborate a bit what your use case, what alternatives in Galaxy you have considered, and why you have ruled them out, is so we can determine whether there is any demand for putting effort into fixing Paraview?

Primarily to construct 3D surfaces (via scattered points or interpolating splines) that might be useful for defining membranes in agent based 3D (PhysiCell) models. I’m also suggesting that the ParaView tool simply be removed if it isn’t working and thereby avoid users’ confusion and frustration.
