Hi Jack,

A few comments.

- I notice that the code in that test used to select the best solver available 
had some errors, causing it to attempt to use MIPS (known to fail on this one) 
rather than Gurobi. I think I’ve fixed that problem in the latest version on 
the MOST GitHub repository. Try replacing your most/lib/t/t_most_w_ds.m file 
with this one 
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MATPOWER/most/master/lib/t/t_most_w_ds.m> 
and see if that works.

- You may also have an issue with the installation of Gurobi on your machine. 
It seems odd to me that mpver does not print the version number, as it does for 
me. If typing mpver in a fresh Matlab session does not print the Gurobi version 
number, I’d be interested in following up with you to uncover whether there’s 
bug in MATPOWER or its an issue with your installation or what.

- Finally, it’s always a challenge with numerical optimization to find the 
right options and tolerances to make tests pass across a bunch of different 
architectures, Matlab versions, solvers, etc. and this test is particularly 
troublesome, which is why I now moved it last. In the end, if everything else 
passes except this test, I wouldn’t worry about it.
