Is it possible to easily update the options used in Ipopt?
Trying to change the value of mu using the :mu_init option but it seems that Ipopt uses an immutable struct so I don’t have access. I used it in Julia v0.6 and it was a good speed up for the MINLP solver Juniper.jl
In general I think it should be maybe a function in MathProgBase/MOI to easily update options of each solver in a generalized way?
FYI currently just updating to julia version 1.0 and not MOI (so it might be different there)
The structure of the options seemed to have changed quite a bit by having an iterator over pairs instead of a vector or something like this.
Anyway actually I’m a little confused that it was possible before as I set it using push!(m.nl_solver.options, (:mu_init, 1e-5)) or overwritting it if present.
where m.nl_solver.options are the options of Ipopt but it was a struct back then as well and not a mutuable struct.
In my understanding it should have raised an error before.
Immutability doesn’t prevent you from modifying an array that’s stored as a field in a struct.
Yes, the structure for the parameters changed unintentionally because the processing of keyword arguments changed. We’ll accept a PR that changes this structure back to a vector of tuples to make it easier to modify to restore the previous functionality.
