[bug] conan2 conanfile.txt options ignored for test_requires dependencies

[zabereer]

Environment details

• Operating System+version: RHEL 8.6
• Compiler+version: gcc 11
• Conan version: 2.0.7
• Python version: 3.11.0

Steps to reproduce

1. create new directory with conanfile.txt containing:

[test_requires]
benchmark/1.8.0
[options]
benchmark/*:enable_lto=True

2. make sure no benchmark in local cache by conan remove --confirm benchmark
3. from that directory run conan install .
4. check cache what you got with conan list 'benchmark/*:*' and notice package options has enable_lto: False

That is surprising to me and not really what I want.
If I modify conanfile.txt to have [requires] instead of [test_requires] then I get an LTO benchmark.

(and before I forget, thank you for amazing work on conan2).

Hi @zabereer

Thanks for your report.
We are aware that this won't work this way, and it is by design, for tool_requires.
But maybe for test_requires it should/can work. We need to check it, we will have a look, thanks for the details to reproduce.

In the meantime, you can do:

• Define a conanfile.py instead of a txt
• Define test_requires("benchmark/version", options={<key>: <value>})

That guarantees that the option is passed to the dependency.
You might also define it in the profile or in command line, and I think that should work too.

(and before I forget, thank you for amazing work on conan2).

Thanks very much! 🙂
