As suggested by @volker-krey, upon GAMS errors, users should not only check the .lst file, but also the .log file. I'm not entirely sure what the exact name of these files is, but we can most likely add a line here that checks if such a file exists and points the user to it.

One could duplicate line 199 to create log_file path, and then line 220 to print it out, if it exists.

glatterf42 commented 5 months ago

Are the .log files named exactly the same as the .lst files except for the ending?

khaeru commented 5 months ago

Yes, unless overridden, which we generally do not do. See https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_GamsCall.html#GAMSAOlogfile
