Cannot access MIPGap attribute

I use Python 3.7.9 and Gurobi 9.1.0. When I create a model object `prob` and solve it, I cannot access the MIPGap attribute. This is a minimal reproducible example.

import gurobipy as gp
from gurobipy import GRB
import numpy as np

# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36988341/how-to-get-the-relative-mip-optimality-gap-after-timelimit-is-met
# get MIPGap by prob.optimize() -> prob.MIPGap

prob = gp.Model("lp")

a = prob.addVar()
b = prob.addVar()

prob.setObjective(3*a+2*b, GRB.MAXIMIZE)

# prob.Params.NonConvex = 2

prob.addConstr(a + b <= 3)
prob.addConstr(2*a + b <= 4)

prob.optimize()
print("prob.status", prob.status)
print("a", a.x)
print("b", b.x)
print("MIPGap", prob.MIPGap)

(My use case is that I am solving a nonconvex quadratic problem and I want to terminate after a time limit before the solver can solve to optimality and I know the MIPGap -- the error bound -- at the time of termination.) The output is:

AttributeError: Unable to retrieve attribute 'MIPGap'

In particular, this is the problem:

AttributeError: Unable to retrieve attribute 'MIPGap'

I used to be able to do this before but I don't know why I can't do this anymore.

Thanks for your help!

  The example problem is a continuous linear problem, so it is not solved as a MIP and there is no MIPGap to report. The model status is \(\texttt{GRB.OPTIMAL}\), meaning the problem was solved to optimality. You can check if a problem is solved as a MIP by querying the value of the IsMIP model attribute:

  print("IsMIP:", prob.IsMIP)

  If you were to change the model so Gurobi solves the problem as a MIP (e.g., by changing a variable to be integer or introducing a non-convex quadratic constraint like you mentioned), you should be able to query the MIP gap.

  I used to be able to do this before but I don't know why I can't do this anymore.

  Do you mean you used to be able to query the MIP gap of a continuous linear problem like this? It's expected that the MIP gap is not available for such problems.
