[bug] default_options ignored for dependencies

[friendlyanon]

Environment details

• Operating System+version: Windows 10 2H22 (19045.2728)
• Compiler+version: Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.35.32215 for x64
• Conan version: 2.0.2
• Python version: 3.10.8

Steps to reproduce

Given the conanfile.py:

from conan import ConanFile


class Recipe(ConanFile):
    settings = "os", "compiler", "build_type", "arch"
    generators = "CMakeToolchain", "CMakeDeps", "VirtualRunEnv"
    default_options = {
        "catch2/*: with_main": True, # space before with_main doesn't matter
    }

    def layout(self):
        self.folders.generators = "conan"

    def requirements(self):
        self.requires("hedley/15")
        self.requires("json-c/0.16")

    def build_requirements(self):
        self.test_requires("catch2/2.13.9")

Running conan install . -b missing will produce a Catch2 CMake package that does not have the target Catch2::Catch2WithMain despite the option requiring it.

Logs

$ cmake ...
...
-- Conan: Target declared 'Catch2::Catch2'
...
CMake Error at test/CMakeLists.txt:15 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "proj_test" links to:

    Catch2::Catch2WithMain

  but the target was not found.  Possible reasons include:

    * There is a typo in the target name.
    * A find_package call is missing for an IMPORTED target.
    * An ALIAS target is missing.
...

Hi @friendlyanon

this is a known issue at the moment, we are having a look
You need to define the options in the self.tool_requires(..., options = {}) to define them. The default_options only target "host" requirements at the moment. We don't know if this will change or not, but the self.tool_requires(... ,options={}) would be guaranteed to work now and in the future.

This would be a duplicate of #13414, closing this one, follow the previous one please. Thanks for reporting!
