load from model_file is not always working

Hi Fabio
I'm currently working with your package in python for my master thesis. And i stumbled upon an issue, where I can't load a model after saving it to json. There seems to be two different json generated when saving, but I have not figured out when which one gets saved. One starts with {"has_gp_model": 1, "booster_str: ... rho50_iter222_gaussian_model_gpb.json and the other one with {"learner": {"attributes":{}, ... rho10_iter0_gaussian_model_gpb.json. I'm quite certain, both of the boosters I tried to save have a gpmodel with them. And when i try to load the latter json, there is an error:

in Booster.__init__(self, params, train_set, model_file, model_str, silent, gp_model)
   [2454]        elif i > 1:
   [2455]            break
-> [2456]  if has_gp_model == '"has_gp_model": 1,\n' or has_gp_model == ' "has_gp_model": 1,\n':
   [2457]         self.has_gp_model = True
   [2458]         with open(model_file, "r") as f:

UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'has_gp_model' where it is not associated with a value

Perhaps there is something missing in the docs but it seems strange that the one json can't be loaded again.
Thanks for looking into it.
Best
Tobias

Thank you for using GPBoost!

Can you please provide a reproducible example (eg using simulated data)?

I'm sorry, it was a mistake on my side. It is all good with your code
