compatibility problem between FEniCS and Paraview on Mac

I am using FEniCS on mac trough Docker but I have a problem visualizing the result of an analysis using a Paraview version installed on mac. These are the steps I follow: I obtain the solution of my problem using FEniCS; then send the .vtu file that FEniCS has generated from Docker to the desktop using

sudo docker cp fenics-container:/home/fenics/shared/nameoffile.vtu Users/User/Desktop

Subsequently, I open ParaView (which I directly installed on my mac and not on Docker) and open the file nameoffile.vtu. I press Apply and then an error appears:

ERROR: In /Users/kitware/dashboards/buildbot-slave/a64f5607/build/superbuild/paraview/src/VTK/IO/XML/vtkXMLUnstructuredDataReader.cxx, line 649 vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader (0x7fc30ff7c440): Error reading cell offsets: Unsupported array type: vtkUnsignedIntArray

Can anyone explain what this error means?

when I tried open the file using Paraview on a Linux machine it worked just fine with no error. Am I missing some compatibility package?

Solved. I installed a previous version of ParaView. Apparently latest ones are not fully compatible with all versions of FEniCS
