Hi 
I am currently trying to build an Optimal Control Problem (OCP) in Python using acados and am running into a problem with the solver generation.
The OCP is used to build an MPC algorithm for an inverted pendulum system.
The code itself is implemented as follows:
ocp = AcadosOcp()
# set model
model = pend_model()
ocp.model = model
Tf = 1.0
nx = model.x.size()[0]
nu = model.u.size()[0]
N = 20
# set dimensions
ocp.dims.N = N
# set cost
Q_mat = 2 * np.diag([1e3, 1e3, 1e-2, 1e-2])
R_mat = 2 * np.diag([1e-2])
ocp.cost.cost_type = 'EXTERNAL'
ocp.cost.cost_type_e = 'EXTERNAL'
ocp.model.cost_expr_ext_cost = model.x.T @ Q_mat @ model.x + model.u.T @ R_mat @ model.u
ocp.model.cost_expr_ext_cost_e = model.x.T @ Q_mat @ model.x
# Input constraints
umax = 23
ocp.constraints.lbu = np.array([-umax])
ocp.constraints.ubu = np.array([+umax])
ocp.constraints.idxbu = np.array([0])
# State Constraints
xmax = [inf, inf, 0.25, inf]
xmin = [-inf, -inf, -0.25, -inf]
ocp.constraints.lbx = np.array(xmin)
ocp.constraints.ubx = np.array(xmax)
ocp.constraints.idxbx = np.array([0, 1, 2, 3])
# Initial state constraint
ocp.constraints.x0 = np.array([np.pi, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0])
# set options
ocp.solver_options.qp_solver = 'PARTIAL_CONDENSING_HPIPM'
ocp.solver_options.hessian_approx = 'EXACT'
ocp.solver_options.integrator_type = 'IRK'
ocp.solver_options.print_level = 1
ocp.solver_options.nlp_solver_type = 'SQP'
# set prediction horizon
ocp.solver_options.tf = Tf
self.ocp = ocp
self.ocp_solver = AcadosOcpSolver(self.ocp, json_file='acados_ocp.json')
On further investigation, I noticed that the AcadosOCPSolver class did not generate a solver when I included my state constraints.
While trying to run the code this error message pops up
Error: Custom { kind: InvalidData, error: Error("invalid number", line: 46, column: 14) }

raise Exception(f'Rendering of {in_file} failed!\n\nAttempted to execute OS command:\n{os_cmd}\n\n')
Exception: Rendering of main.in.c failed!
I tried building the tera renderer natively using the latest git release and replaced the executable in the bin folder but this doesn’t change the outcome
Any help would be greatly appreciated
