I tried the code provided on the link : https://developers.google.com/optimization/routing/tsp
The actual requirement is to traverse all paths without returning to the start point with minimum distance to travel.
Then I found this link on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/7158721/3016453
I added a dummy point and run the first algorithm but not get the expected output. But this is upvoted more than 35 times. I don't know where I am wrong.
I ran the below code with both above-mentioned method:

import numpy as np
from flask import request, jsonify
from ortools.constraint_solver import routing_enums_pb2
from ortools.constraint_solver import pywrapcp
