[bug] Can't setup options of non-visible dependencies

[lo1ol]

Environment details

• Operating System+version: Arch Linux. Kernel 6.1.12-arch1-1:
• Compiler+version: doesn't metter
• Conan version: 2.0.1
• Python version: 3.10.9

Steps to reproduce

pkgA:

from conan import ConanFile

class RtcryptConanfile(ConanFile):
    name = "pkg_a"
    version = "0.0.1"
    settings = "os", "compiler", "arch", "build_type", "libc"
    
    options = {"shared": [True, False] }
    default_options = {"shared": True }

pkgB.py

from conan import ConanFile

class RtcryptConanfile(ConanFile):
    name = "pkg_b"
    version = "0.0.1"
    settings = "os", "compiler", "arch", "build_type", "libc"

    def configure(self):
        self.options["pkg_a/*"].shared = False

    def requirements(self):
        self.requires("pkg_a/0.0.1", visible=False)

conan export-pkg pkgA.py -o shared=False
conan install pkgB.py

If replace visible=False to visible=True -- everything is work

But setting of options via args of require method is work

[memsharded]

I haven't forgot about this, I have been investigating this, able to reproduce, not clear if it is expected or not.

What is clear is that the self.tool_requires(..., options={}) should work, and it is a clear and explicit way to define it, so very recommended to use it.

[memsharded]

It works too for self.test_requires("gtest/1.0", options={"myoption": "2"})

[memsharded]

Proposing default_build_options in #14340 in case you want to give it a try

[memsharded]

#14340 has been merged for next 2.0.10:

• It will propagate default_options to the "host" requirements, visible, not visible, test-requires, etc, but not for requirements in the "build" context
• For "build" context, a new, explicit default_build_options is introduced.
