[Python] Combining PULP with HiGHS cmd solver, stuck while writing the solution

Combining PULP with HiGHS cmd solver, stuck while writing the solution

I have developed MIP built with PuLP in python, using the HiGHS cmd Solver. I originally developed the entire code in Mac where it runs smoothly within seconds. Now when I am trying to run the same script in a Windows system, the solver is getting stuck at final step. Following is the code snippet I am using for LP:

prob = pl.LpProblem("Arrangement Pl", pl.LpMaximize)
cutVariables = pl.LpVariable.dict("cuts", cuts, 0, None, pl.LpInteger)

prob += pl.lpSum([WidthOrder * cutVariables for i in cuts])
prob += pl.lpSum([WidthOrder * cutVariables for i in cuts]) <= Deckle
prob += pl.lpSum([cutVariables for i in cuts]) <= maxCuts
for i in cuts:
prob += cutVariables <= OrderDict

solver = pl.HiGHS_CMD(path=path_to_HiGHS)
result = prob.solve(solver)


The script is stuck at prob.solve() line. Following is the output message, I get before the script stucks forever

I am fairly new to this and any suggestion is appreciated.
