non-compatibility issue in results processing model results using gams as solver

When running a model using gams as solver, in backend/run.py, run_plan function faces an attribute error in line 152 where the attribute "name" is not found in object "opt". To get it work, I just commented the line to avoid running the if/else condition.

The ValueError:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Just to confirm - if you remove the check for opt.name, you can use GAMS as a solver without any issues?

Yes. it runs without any issue, and to the extend I explored the results, I could not find any issues or inconsistencies. in the postprocessing.
