ompr::add_constraint(.): Adding a simple char-constraint (?), ERROR: The expression contains a variable that is not part of the model
Martin-Grub opened this issue · comments
Dear community!
Does anybody know, how to add a simple string as a constraint to a model?
After some trying, I found that the following IS working:
ompr::add_constraint(model, sum_expr(str2lang("10 * x[1,1] + 10 * x[2,1]"), i=1:1) <= 1000).
Unfortunately, it is NOT working, when I pack the string into a var strTmp <- "10 * x[1,1] + 10 * x[2,1]".
With this in mind:
ompr::add_constraint(model, sum_expr(str2lang(strTmp ), i=1:1) <= 1000)
I get an ERROR: Error in check_for_unknown_vars_impl(model, the_ast) : The expression contains a variable that is not part of the model.
I am looking for a way to resolve some externally generated strings, that formulate some linear inequations with registered model vars (x[i,j]).
Does anyone has an idea? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hey, this will not work due to how ompr was written. You could try something like this (untested):
strTmp <- "10 * x[1,1] + 10 * x[2,1]"
eval(bquote(ompr::add_constraint(model, sum_expr(.(str2lang(strTmp)), i=1:1) <= 1000)))
Thank you, Dirk, for your answer!
Unfortunately, this still seems not to be the solution. Executing your suggestion gives an answer:
Mixed integer linear optimization problem
Variables:
Continuous: 1960
Integer: 0
Binary: 0
Model sense: minimize
Constraints: 1
Everything looks good, but when looking into the model, it turns out, that there is a list of 0 constraints, not 1. Repeating does not help. The answer ist 1 constraint, the result is 0 constraints.
Do you have any idea??
Kind regards, Martin
